About Me
Hi, I’m Aravind Lal — a BTech Computer Science & Engineering student at IHRD College of Engineering, Kallooppara. I specialize in cybersecurity, networking, backend systems, and working close to the hardware and OS-level. I’m passionate about building secure systems, analyzing logs, setting up servers, and exploring how networks really work — and how to protect them.
