Proof of Concept
This website serves as a demonstration of my technical capabilities in web development, network security, and digital rights management. It starts by you scanning the QR code on the images. You should see a pop up with a session ID and a message from me, the admin of this domain. The pictures are from when I had the opportunity to shadow and work for the owner of a company called Streamline! They work in ADA compliance, mainly helping small businesses align with these frameworks. It was there the owner taught me a little bit about web development and dared me to make a website for my portfolio! After being gifted the base knowledge and tools I needed to succeed, I accepted the challenge despite only having experience scripting with Python and PowerShell, never touching HTML, JavaScript, or CSS! This enabled me to learn more about those languages while also getting hands-on experiences with reverse proxies such as Ngrok and local hosting with Docker!
DRM Protection in Action:
