Study Progress

Firewall and IPS security, system and application security, security engineering, management information systems, cybersecurity governance, machine learning, deep learning, human element in information systems, cryptography, Firewall/IPS configuration (access rules, NAT) via PfSense/IPFire and penetration testing via Metasploit and Kali Linux, I have deployed a local LLM and evaluated performance analysis through a project on the human element in the information systems course, In deep-learning course, using TensorFlow and Keras, I created from scratch a convolutional neural network (CNN) with the help of Python v3 for image classification. There were 100 different classes in the dataset I worked with, hence I concentrated on testing architectural and training parameter adjustments to see how they may enhance the performance of the model
