Django Web Framework Software Metrics Measurement using Radon and Pylint, Developed a web-based tool using the Django framework to analyze software code quality. Utilized Python libraries, including Radon and Pylint, to calculate code quality metrics such as Cyclomatic Complexity, Maintainability Index, and Halstead metrics. The system takes an input file and provides a detailed analysis, including lines of code, word count, character count, and function count. The system also calculates a Cyclomatic Complexity score and ranks the code's performance from 'Low-simple block' to 'very high,' with corresponding letter grades (A-F). Implemented a user interface where users can upload files and view a comprehensive report of the code quality metrics. RFID Employee Attendance Management System, Designed and developed an automated attendance system using RFID technology to replace manual attendance recording. The system uses an RFID reader and tags as a replacement for ID cards, with a NodeMCU microcontroller and a Wi-Fi module for connectivity. Integrated the system with a Blynk application and cloud storage to save and manage attendance records in real-time. The system is able to identify individual employees, register their entry or exit, and automatically update the attendance count on the Blynk application. The project successfully demonstrated a highly flexible, time-saving, and reliable system for managing employee attendance, with a maximum reading range of 2 cm. Home Lab Setup for IT Operations & Cybersecurity, Configured a personal home lab environment to simulate enterprise IT operations and practice cybersecurity skills. Deployed and managed virtual machines with Linux and Windows Server operating systems. Implemented and monitored network services such as DNS, DHCP, and a web server. Utilized open-source monitoring tools like Nagios and Zabbix to track server health metrics (CPU, RAM, disk usage) and receive alerts. Practiced incident response by simulating service failures and documenting the troubleshooting process, resolution steps, and outcomes in a ticketing system.
