Alston Shi — Portfolio

About Me

I am a Diploma in Infocomm & Security graduate from Nanyang Polytechnic with hands‑on experience spanning UX/UI design, front‑end development, cybersecurity, and governance, risk & compliance (GRC). I thrive at the intersection of security and design — building digital products that are both functional and resilient.

During my internship at Suzhou Konggu Network Technology (KGU), I led UX/UI redesigns for international clients across Vietnam, China, and Germany; implemented SEO strategies using SEMrush and Google Analytics; and contributed to GRC research covering ISO 27001, PCI DSS v4.0, SOC 2, and GDPR/CCPA. I also supported a Drata compliance automation proof‑of‑concept and SonarQube CI/CD integration — gaining real‑world exposure to enterprise‑grade security workflows.

I hold a Certified Ethical Hacker (CEH) certification and an Alibaba Cloud credential, and I completed an overseas academic exchange at Hallym University in South Korea. I am actively seeking opportunities in information security, risk management, or full‑stack web development where I can apply my technical skills and grow within a high‑impact team.
