Hi! नमस्ते!
I'm Priyanshu, a computer science engineering student, trying to understand how real systems work behind the scenes.
This site is where I write, build, share what I am learning, mostly around backend systems, secure software developement and cybersecurity concepts that catch my curiosity.
About Me
I'm currently in my second year of my engineering, and most of my learning comes from breaking things down, building small systems, and figuring out how to make them more secure.
Right now, I am exploring:
- Systems Architecture: Building resilient microservices using C# and .NET Aspire.
- Security Hardening: Implementing OAuth2/JWT authentication and managing secrets via Azure KeyVault.
- Cloud Infrastructure: Deploying and securing scalable environments within Azure.
- Defensive Research: Analyzing OWASP Top 10 vulnerabilities to implement proactive mitigation strategies.
- Reliability: Engineering CI/CD pipelines and containerized environments with Docker and GitHub Actions.
The Security Mindset
My experience organizing CTFs and studying exploit vectors has taught me that "functional" is not enough. I strive to understand the root causes of vulnerabilities—from memory mismanagement to logic flaws—to build systems that protect data at every layer. Because it’s the part of tech where every small mistake can blow things up. It forces me to think deeper not just about writing code, but about how that code behaves when things go wrong.
Technical Arsenal
Core Stack: C# (.NET Core), ASP.NET Web API, PostgreSQL.
Security & DevOps: Threat Modeling, Azure Security Basics, Docker, Linux Systems.
University Foundation: Java (OOP & DSA), C, SQL Databases, Python.
