Hello world!

Hey there! 👋

If you’re reading this, Welcome to my little corner of the internet. I’m thrilled to have you here! This blog is where I’ll be sharing my journey, insights, and lessons learned in the ever-evolving world of cybersecurity, system administration, and everything in between.

A bit about me: I started my career as a systems administrator back in 2017 while juggling my bachelor’s degree in computer applications. My first big challenge? Scaling a file-hosting website to handle 8,000+ daily visitors (30000+ pageviews) , 25,000+ downloads, and 200+ uploads—all while keeping the servers from catching fire (metaphorically, of course). Fast forward to 2020, I graduated, joined a company founded by my college’s MD, and wore more hats than a magician—systems admin, web developer, and cybersecurity analyst.

In 2022, I packed my bags and moved to Canada, where I dove into a Cybersecurity and Computer Forensics PGDM at Lambton College. Along the way, I picked up certifications like Security+, Pentest+, and CASP+ (The whole stack, yes!. It was challenging and rewarding), and worked as a cybersecurity consultant, helping startups secure their systems and scale their operations.

Today, I’m a working as a cybersecurity consultant, working with startups, mainly. There’s something incredibly rewarding about helping small teams punch above their weight and watching them grow.

On this blog, I plan to share (mostly) mix of technical deep dives, practical guides, and personal stories from my journey. From penetration testing and OSINT to system administration and scaling web applications, I’ll cover it all. My goal? To provide value back to the ever-challenging tech industry by writing on topics from my own learnings, and maybe even make you laugh along the way. 😉

So, grab a coffee (or tea, no judgment here), and let’s dive into the world of cybersecurity together.

Stay curious, stay secure.

Cheers,

Sahil
