Idipo Edrine

Backend Developer | Application Security | Penetration Testing

I am a backend-focused developer with a Bachelor of Information Technology and Computing (First-Class Honors), building backend systems with Java, Spring Boot, Spring Security, REST APIs, Hibernate/JPA, and PostgreSQL.

I am currently expanding from backend development into application security and penetration testing, with a focus on understanding how web applications and APIs are designed, attacked, secured, and tested.

🔐 Security Focus

Web Application Security
REST API Security
Authentication & Authorization
OWASP Top 10
Vulnerability Assessment & Penetration Testing
Secure Backend Development
Linux & Networking Fundamentals
Security Testing and Reporting

💻 Technical Background

Backend: Java · Spring Boot · Spring Security · Hibernate/JPA · REST APIs

Databases: PostgreSQL · SQL

Security: Burp Suite · Nmap · HTTP/HTTPS · OWASP methodology

Development: Git · GitHub · Maven · Docker

🧪 Security Projects

Projects are being developed as part of my transition into application security and penetration testing.

Vulnerable Spring Boot Lab — deliberately vulnerable web/API application used to study, reproduce, document, and remediate common security vulnerabilities.
Security Learning — structured notes, practical labs, methodology, and security research.
Penetration Testing Reports — sanitized assessment reports demonstrating methodology, findings, evidence, impact, remediation, and retesting.
Security Tools — small utilities and automation scripts developed for authorized security testing and learning.

🎯 Career Direction

My goal is to develop into a junior penetration tester / application security professional, combining my backend engineering experience with practical offensive security skills.

I believe understanding how software is built makes it easier to understand how it can fail — and how it can be secured.

⚠️ Ethics

All security testing documented here is performed against systems I own, intentionally vulnerable applications, labs, or targets for which I have explicit authorization.
