Computer Science student • security-oriented technical portfolio

Emir Canitez

Computer Science student in Budapest building security-oriented, reviewable projects focused on authentication, auditability, workflow integrity, and Linux hardening.

I focus on building small but deliberate projects that show how systems can be designed more securely, documented clearly, and reviewed quickly.

Featured Projects

Flagship work

These are the three projects I want reviewers to understand first. They were chosen to show authentication control, workflow integrity, auditability, and defensive system hardening rather than generic front-end breadth.

Project 01

Secure Auth & Admin Panel Demo

Security-focused authentication demo showing session-based auth, backend RBAC, CSRF protection, rate limiting, temporary lockout, and audit visibility.

What it demonstrates

secure authentication flow design
backend-enforced authorization
misuse visibility and audit review

Project details Repo

Project 02

ValerPay

Workflow-integrity payment demo built around ledger-based balances, role separation, controlled request states, and reviewer-friendly backend logic.

What it demonstrates

integrity-first workflow design
controlled state transitions
auditability across multi-actor processes

Project 03

Linux Hardening Lab

Defensive Ubuntu Server hardening lab documenting baseline review, SSH/UFW/fail2ban/AppArmor decisions, verification steps, and recovery notes.

What it demonstrates

defensive system configuration
before/after verification mindset
tradeoff awareness and recoverability

Project details Repo

What I Emphasize

Technical priorities

security-aware design, not only implementation
reviewable systems and clear technical documentation
traceability for important actions and decisions
practical controls with verification and tradeoff awareness

The strongest signal I want the portfolio to give is deliberate technical judgment, not just feature output.

Why These Projects

Deliberate project selection

I deliberately chose projects that highlight security-relevant thinking rather than generic app development: authentication control, audit visibility, workflow integrity, and defensive system hardening.

The goal of this portfolio is not breadth. It is to show deliberate technical direction and reviewable, security-minded work.

Supporting Projects

Smaller work that shows progression

I also keep a few smaller projects to show progression in structure, UI flow, and JavaScript fundamentals, but the strongest direction of my portfolio is now secure software, defensive thinking, and system integrity.

Calculator Web App

Shows basic UI logic, event handling, and predictable interaction flow.

See supporting project

Currency Exchange Office

Shows UI structure, multi-screen flow thinking, and validation-oriented frontend work.

See supporting project

Renters.hu

Shows landing-page structure, responsive layout work, and presentation discipline.

Visual Context

Personal layer, kept secondary to the technical work

The portfolio stays reviewer-first, but I still keep a small visual layer so the site feels intentional and personal without taking attention away from the repositories and documentation.

Motivation Summary

Why this site is structured this way

I am applying with a portfolio centered on secure software design, defensive engineering, workflow integrity, and reviewer-friendly technical documentation.

This site is intentionally compact so reviewers can understand the direction, inspect the strongest projects, and reach the relevant repositories quickly.
