I write semantic HTML to give pages a clear structure and improve accessibility for screen readers and keyboard users. I use appropriate landmarks and attributes so styles and scripts attach cleanly and content is easy to maintain.

I build responsive layouts with modern CSS and Bootstrap utility classes, keeping styles organized and predictable. I focus on readable typography, consistent spacing, and practical component reuse over heavy custom effects.

I use JavaScript to add interactivity, form handling, and API calls on the client side, and to build simple services on the server with Node. I aim for small, testable functions and keep DOM work straightforward to avoid complexity.

I build server rendered pages and basic APIs in PHP with attention to input validation and prepared statements. I keep templates tidy and separate concerns so that business logic, queries, and markup remain easy to follow.

I use Python for scripts and small backend tasks where readability matters. I prefer clear, standard library solutions first, then add libraries only when they simplify the job.

I build components that manage local state and props cleanly, keeping logic simple and reusable. I pay attention to controlled inputs, key usage in lists, and keeping effects minimal to avoid unnecessary re-renders.

I create REST endpoints with clear routing and small middleware for concerns like authentication and rate limiting. I return predictable JSON shapes and handle errors centrally so clients receive consistent responses.

I support legacy code with jQuery for quick DOM and Ajax work where a framework is not required. I rely on Bootstrap’s grid and components to ship consistent, mobile friendly interfaces fast.

I design practical schemas and write queries that use indexes for common read paths. I use transactions where consistency matters and keep migrations incremental to reduce risk.

I write select, insert, update, and delete statements with clear filters and limits to protect performance. I prefer parameterized queries and avoid concatenating user input into statements.

I model documents to match access patterns and create indexes to support those reads. I keep validation rules and unique constraints where appropriate to protect data quality.

I package apps and dependencies into containers so development and deployment match closely. I keep images small, use environment variables for configuration, and document simple commands to run services locally.

I understand how workloads run as pods and how services expose them inside the cluster. I work with manifests carefully and prefer gradual rollouts so changes can be observed and rolled back if needed.

I commit in small steps with clear messages and use branches and pull requests for review. I respond to feedback and keep history readable so future changes are easier to make.

I run automated checks on each push to catch issues early and keep builds repeatable. I store secrets outside the repo and break pipelines into clear build, test, and deploy stages.

I navigate servers from the command line and write small scripts to automate routine tasks. I prefer simple, well commented scripts that are safe to re-run and easy for teammates to read.

I understand why small services can reduce coupling and make independent changes safer. I try to keep boundaries clear and keep communication simple so services remain easy to reason about.

I work with managed services to deploy and scale without maintaining infrastructure by hand. I keep credentials out of code and document how to reproduce environments.

I configure servers to host static files and proxy dynamic apps with attention to security headers and redirects. I test locally and stage changes to avoid downtime when updating configurations.

I add basic health checks and capture useful logs so issues can be reproduced and fixed. I look for clear error messages and consistent formats to speed up troubleshooting.

I write small tests around core logic to protect against regressions and guide refactors. I aim for tests that are fast, reliable, and focused on behavior that matters to users.

I use Burp as an intercepting proxy to observe and modify requests while testing web apps. I validate findings with repeater and keep notes so fixes are specific and reproducible.

I scan hosts to understand exposed ports and services before any deeper testing. I prefer safe defaults and document commands and results to build a clear recon picture.

I capture traffic to study protocols and confirm how requests flow through a system. I apply filters to isolate problems and export small traces for discussion with teammates.

I enumerate directories, files, and virtual hosts to uncover hidden endpoints and misconfigurations. I tune wordlists and rate limits carefully to be respectful and efficient in lab environments.

I practice controlled exploitation and post exploitation techniques in labs to understand risks. I always document prerequisites and cleanup steps so exercises are safe to repeat.

I use CyberChef for quick transforms such as encoding, decoding, and hashing while analyzing data. I save recipes for repeatable steps so future investigations are faster.

I use the OSI layers to reason about where a problem belongs, from physical links up to application behavior. This helps narrow issues and choose the right tool, whether it is a cable check or an HTTP trace.

I understand how the simplified stack maps to real traffic and how routing and transport affect latency and reliability. I look at handshakes and retransmissions to explain slow or failed requests.

I work with HTTP and HTTPS, DNS, SSH, and TLS at a practical level and know what healthy traffic looks like. This helps me spot misconfigurations and confirm that requests are protected in transit.

I map common ports to expected services so scans and logs make sense quickly. I verify findings before conclusions because services can be moved or filtered.

I read and plan simple CIDR ranges so I know what is in scope for a scan or a deployment. I avoid overly broad ranges and document target spaces to be precise and respectful.

I capture and filter packets in Wireshark to validate assumptions and reproduce issues. I keep captures short and targeted, then share sanitized snippets for review.
