What I've learnt
Computing Foundations
Mostly focused on building a strong theoretical foundation in computing and problem-solving. I developed programming and analytical skills through subjects such as Problem Solving & Computer Programming, Object-Oriented Programming, Computer Organization & Architecture, Fundamentals of Computer Systems, Software Engineering Methods and Human-Computer Interaction.
Networking & Security
Expanded my knowledge into computer networks, cybersecurity and distributed technologies. I learned about operating systems, network and security fundamentals, information security, databases, cloud computing, wireless and mobile networks, and network analysis. I also gained hands-on networking experience through Cisco-based learning and network simulation, which led to earning my CCNA certification.
Cybersecurity & Advanced Applications
Applied my knowledge to more advanced cybersecurity and technology areas through practical subjects and project-based learning. I explored penetration testing, cryptography, computer forensics, IoT, AI, network technology and security, and Internet computing. I also completed my Final Year Project (FYP), developing a Smart Door Lock System using Face Recognition and TOTP Authentication, combining cybersecurity, authentication, networking and IoT concepts.
