01 / Brief
Make a familiar ordering flow safer by design.
Cosmos Coffee was built for an information-security class. The product brief paired a familiar online ordering experience with a practical requirement: customer and transaction data needed to be handled deliberately.
02 / Build
Security belongs in the product workflow.
My focus was the backend architecture and the boundaries around user input, authentication, and database access. The goal was not only to make the flow work, but to make safer behavior part of the default path.
03 / Reflection
A small project that changed how I think about trust.
The project reinforced that security is not a final checklist applied after an interface is finished. It influences validation, data shape, permissions, error handling, and the information a user sees at every step.
