Open to internships and early-career roles in cybersecurity and software engineering.
Anes Murtic
Security Engineering & Software Development
I'm a Computer Science student at Arizona State University with hands-on experience across security engineering, IT infrastructure, and software development through three internships. I like compliance automation, endpoint security, scripting, and building internal tools that actually move a metric.
01_ABOUT
A bit about me
I've always been interested in technology and understanding how things work behind the scenes. Once I started learning more about cybersecurity, I became interested in how software, systems, and people all connect — and how one small weakness can create a much larger risk. What keeps me interested is that there's always something new to learn, whether I'm building an automation, investigating a security problem, or finding a better way to complete a process.
I'm currently pursuing a B.S. in Computer Science at Arizona State University with a concentration in Software Engineering. I'm expected to graduate in Spring 2027 and have earned Dean's List recognition.
My goal is to build a career in cybersecurity where I can combine security, software development, and automation. I'm especially interested in security engineering, cloud security, and finding ways to make security processes more efficient. Over the next few years, I want to continue gaining hands-on experience, strengthen my technical skills, and grow into a security engineer who can both understand risks and build practical solutions for them.
Outside of technology, I'm a big fan of cars, gaming, and exploring new places. There's a similar problem-solving itch in all three — tuning something to run better, working out the best strategy in a game, or figuring out logistics for the next place I want to see.

Where I've worked
Internships and hands-on work across security and engineering.
Security Engineering Intern
May 2026 — PresentGoDaddy · Tempe, Arizona
Compliance automation and audit-evidence tooling across PCI DSS, SOC 2, and ISO 27001.
- Assessed Vanta automation coverage across 314 PCI DSS, SOC 2, and ISO 27001 evidence controls, evaluating AWS and GitHub integrations and prioritizing controls requiring manual evidence collection.
- Built a Python testing script to automate ITGC key report validation for DCM audit evidence, achieving a 98.9% classification match rate against expected SQL Server outputs.
- Collected and analyzed evidence for SOC 2, ISO 27001, and NIST frameworks to support internal and external audit readiness.
IT Infrastructure Engineer Intern
March 2026 — May 2026Oats Overnight · Phoenix, Arizona
Led the migration off a third-party IT provider to an in-house endpoint management and security stack.
- Led migration from a third-party IT provider to an in-house NinjaOne and SentinelOne stack across 290 endpoints, reducing annual costs by $100K.
- Built PowerShell and shell scripting automation for onboarding/offboarding on Windows and macOS, reducing setup time by 90%.
- Directed a Google Workspace security initiative: disabled unauthorized external file sharing, ran a retroactive permissions audit, and revoked access for non-affiliated users.
- Implemented DLP policies and Google Vault to strengthen compliance and long-term protection of sensitive data.
IT Infrastructure and Systems Intern
November 2025 — March 2026City of Phoenix — Water Services Department · Phoenix, Arizona
Built components of an internal IT asset management application and supported enterprise infrastructure.
- Developed components of an IT Asset Management application using C#, .NET, Windows Forms, and SQL, including UML diagrams, database tables, and user access workflows.
- Built and tested PowerShell automation scripts for system configuration, data collection, and internal technician workflows.
- Operated enterprise infrastructure tools including Active Directory, Tanium, ServiceNow, and PXE/MDT imaging to triage and resolve support tickets.
03_PROJECTS
Things I've built
Personal projects only — problem, solution, and measurable impact for each.
SecureCheck
macOS endpoint security compliance dashboard
- PROBLEM
- Checking whether a fleet of Mac endpoints actually has FileVault, Firewall, Gatekeeper, SIP, and auto-updates configured correctly is normally a manual, one-machine-at-a-time process — which doesn't scale and leaves audit evidence inconsistent.
- SOLUTION
- Built a Python-based compliance scanner that evaluates each of those controls per device, with risk-scoring and remediation logic that classifies findings and recommends fixes. Visualized fleet-wide compliance posture in a Streamlit dashboard, including failed controls and audit-ready CSV evidence export.
- IMPACT
- Turns a manual per-device audit checklist into a fleet-wide, exportable compliance view — the kind of evidence generation that normally eats hours during an audit cycle.

Portable practice/performance gear for drummers
- PROBLEM
- Drummers don't have an easy, cost-efficient way to practice or perform quality percussion sounds outside of a full physical drum kit — most alternatives are bulky, expensive, or need to stay plugged in.
- SOLUTION
- Designed a lightweight, battery-powered, transportable system for practicing or performing percussion in almost any setting, built with quality percussion sound and future expandability in mind. Built as a team project (with Dayan Birwani and Luis Arroyo) for ASU's FSE 100 Introduction to Engineering.
- IMPACT
- Presented at ASU's FSE 100 poster sessions as a working proof-of-concept for cost-efficient, portable percussion practice gear.
