Python ProgrammingData AnalysisThreat ModelingDashboard Development

/Overview

During my externship with Hydroficient, I developed and executed a comprehensive cybersecurity strategy for IoT infrastructure. This involved simulating various cyberattacks, such as spoofing and unauthorized shutoffs, and implementing robust defenses, including TLS and mTLS. The culmination of my work was a detailed security playbook tailored for real-world application.

<Wayfair_n8n_AI_Agent_Engineering_Externship>

Learn one of the most in-demand skills shaping the future of work: building AI agents. In this externship, you’ll step into the role of an AI Agent Developer and use n8n to design agents that think, plan, and act on real data — automating insights, decisions, and workflows. No coding experience required. By the end, you’ll create a live dashboard powered by your own AI agents, gaining hands-on experience that applies to any role or industry — from marketing and consulting to product management and data science.
