Project 04
Certifications & Qualifications
Eight credentials spanning cybersecurity, networking, system administration, project management, and development — industry certifications verified on Credly alongside formal academic qualifications.
Overview
Each credential here was earned deliberately — chosen to fill a specific gap or formalise skills already in use. The security and networking certifications back up the operational work in the military career. The Python and Linux certifications underpin the engineering work in Projects 1 and 2. The academic qualifications laid the computing foundation before the MSc.
