About Me
Hi, I'm Amit, a B.Tech student with a strong focus on Cybersecurity, Linux systems, and backend development. I am deeply interested in understanding how systems work at the core level — from operating systems and networking to security layers and vulnerability analysis.
I don't just study concepts — I implement them, test them, and build projects around them.
Education
🎓 Bachelor of Technology (B.Tech)
- Cybersecurity Fundamentals
- Network Architecture & Protocols
- Cloud Computing Basics
- Linux System Administration
- Web Technologies & Backend Development
Certifications & Structured Learning
I have completed structured cybersecurity and computing fundamentals training through:
I focus on hands-on learning rather than theory-only certification.

Linux Expertise
I use Arch Linux as my primary operating system and work in a fully Linux-based workflow. I prefer terminal-driven environments and focus on understanding how Linux works internally rather than just using it at a surface level.
💻 Daily Linux Usage
- Arch Linux as my main OS
- Comfortable working entirely from the terminal
- Package management and system maintenance
- Installing, removing, and managing software manually
- Inspecting hardware using Linux tools
- Managing user accounts and system configurations
🎨 Customization & Setup
- Hyprland (Wayland compositor)
- Waybar configuration
- Rofi customization
- Dotfiles managed via Git & GitHub
- Replacing and syncing config folders (~/.config)
- Working with file permissions and directory structures
⚙️ System Management
- Writing and using Bash scripts
- Automating repetitive tasks
- Understanding file systems and directory hierarchy
- Copying, replacing, and syncing system files
- Working with persistent USB installations
🌐 Networking & Diagnostics
- Checking DNS configuration
- Analyzing system network details
- Inspecting PCIe slots and hardware components
- Troubleshooting internet and DNS resolver issues
- Using Linux tools to diagnose behavior
My Linux Approach
I don't use Linux casually — I use it as a learning platform. I prefer understanding:
- How services run
- How networking works
- How system configuration impacts security
- How to customize and control the OS completely
Linux is not just my operating system — it's the foundation of my technical growth.
Technical Skills
Programming
- Python (Backend logic, Socket programming, Automation)
- Bash (System scripting & Linux automation)
- HTML / CSS / JavaScript (Web development)
- C / C++ (Fundamentals)
Tools & Platforms
- Nmap · Burp Suite · Metasploit · Wireshark
- Git & GitHub
- Linux Terminal workflow
- Virtual lab environments (VMs, Docker)
- Android customization tools (EDL, TWRP)
Areas of Strong Interest
My Mindset
- Consistency over shortcuts
- Building before claiming knowledge
- Deep system-level understanding
- Continuous self-improvement
My goal is to become a highly skilled cybersecurity professional capable of identifying vulnerabilities, building secure systems, and developing intelligent tools that combine AI with security principles.
