Creating with code and purpose.

Hi there! I'm Sydney!

I’m an ambitious student exploring the worlds of cybersecurity and web development. I care deeply about using technology to uplift underserved communities, especially young Black girls like me. Whether I’m coding a site, researching digital threats, or advocating for equity in tech, I’m always finding ways to make tech more human. Welcome to my digital corner!

Skills & Tools I'm Learning

I’m constantly learning new skills to grow as a web developer and cybersecurity professional. Here's what I’m working on right now: HTML, CSS, JavaScript, Python, CompTIA Security+ (in progress), basic networking, threat analysis, GitHub, and debugging

My Projects

Mental Health Webpage: A website I built to raise awareness about mental health resources for young girls. I used HTML and CSS to design a clean and engaging interface.

Cybersecurity Research-Colonial Pipeline Attack: A research project where I analyzed the 2021 Colonial Pipeline ransomware attack. I looked into how it occurred, the impact, and security measures for preventing such attacks in the future.

Animal Rights Webpage: A website I built to raise awareness about animal cruelty and mistreatment throughout the world. I used HTML and CSS to create this as well.

My Vision & Goals

My goal is to continue building my skills in web development and cybersecurity, eventually working in a security-focused role where I can protect organizations and individuals from cyber threats. I'm passionate about using tech to solve real-world problems and make a positive impact.

In the next few years, I aim to expand my expertise in security tools, ethical hacking, and security systems, while contributing to exciting projects and making a mark in the tech world.
