01 / The role
What I worked on
My current internship connects AI engineering and cybersecurity with the practical work of consulting: understanding systems, documenting findings and turning requirements into useful tools.
- Work supporting Defence Industry Security Program compliance and CRM process automation.
- Custom in-house automation and development using C++, Python, Rust and Linux.
- Authorised security testing, technical reporting and remediation recommendations.
- Coordination of a three-person team on compliance and automation work.
02 / Work & projects
Behind the job title
Work areas described at a level suitable for a public portfolio.
Compliance and evidence
Support DISP-related work by organising evidence, controls and technical documentation. Participation does not itself establish an organisation’s compliance status.
CRM process automation
Understand the enquiry and delivery workflow, then develop in-house automation around confirmed requirements.
Authorised security investigation
Investigate systems within approved scope and translate observations into technical reports and remediation recommendations.
04 / Perspective
What I take forward
The useful connection is between building systems and understanding how they can fail. Clear scope, traceable evidence and readable handover matter in both.
