Learning the hard way, mostly on purpose.
I'm a master's student in cyber security at EPITA in Paris, originally from India. Lectures cover the theory; the part that sticks happens on my own machines — a terminal open, something half-broken, and a long evening ahead of it.
Most of what I build is small and useful: tools that scratch my own itch, services I'd rather host myself than rent. Off the screen I run, play basketball, and lift.
Things I've built.
What's running at home.
A homelab in the corner of the room. It hosts my files, my media and my DNS — and it goes down often enough to keep things interesting.
The rest of the week.
