Piyush Kapoor

I’m a cybersecurity-focused engineering student who enjoys understanding how systems work, where they break, and how to make them more secure. Most of my projects and learning revolve around threat detection, secure coding, and analyzing system behavior to identify risks early.

I’ve worked on tasks like examining large server logs for suspicious activity, designing privacy-focused communication tools, and applying security practices while building backend systems. I’m comfortable using tools like BurpSuite, Nmap, Wireshark, and Kali Linux, and I try to combine this with solid fundamentals in Java, Node.js, SQL, and networking.

What drives me is the idea of building software that doesn’t just work—but stays secure, resilient, and reliable. I enjoy digging into vulnerabilities, strengthening systems, and constantly learning new techniques to stay ahead of evolving threats.

I’m looking for opportunities where I can apply my security mindset, contribute to safe system design, and grow as a cybersecurity professional.

I have hands-on experience working on cybersecurity and backend development projects, where I focused on secure coding, log analysis, and identifying suspicious system activities. I’ve worked with tools like BurpSuite, Nmap, Wireshark, and Kali Linux to test and analyze systems, and I’ve built applications with Java, Node.js, SQL, and REST APIs while keeping security in mind. My work includes designing a secure chat platform, analyzing large server logs for potential risks, and developing structured knowledge-management tools. I enjoy improving system safety, finding vulnerabilities, and creating reliable, secure solutions.

I am pursuing a Bachelor of Technology in Computer Science & Engineering with a specialization in Cybersecurity. My coursework covers cryptography, network security, computer networks, and DBMS, which has helped me build a strong technical foundation. I have also completed certifications like the Google Cybersecurity Professional Certificate, along with additional training in JavaScript and NLP. My academic projects and certifications together strengthen my skills in secure development and risk-focused system analysis.
