hi, i'm aditya.
my interest in computers started when i was a kid. i spent most of my time playing games, installing software, changing settings, taking hardware apart, and occasionally breaking things just to understand how they worked.
i discovered cybersecurity in 2014 through movies, videos, and online communities. what began as curiosity about hacking gradually turned into an interest in privacy, digital security, opsec, and osint. over the years i picked up linux, networking, system administration, web development, and self-hosting, which eventually became part of my day-to-day work.
systems & web developer — i design and build websites, deploy and manage linux infrastructure, host email services, build self-hosted platforms, automate deployments, and help individuals and businesses run reliable systems.
cybersecurity instructor — i teach cybersecurity fundamentals, online privacy, and digital security to people who are new to the field. i also help people improve their opsec, reduce their digital footprint, and better understand the technologies they use every day.
velum — open source ai chat without personal identities. currently my main focus.
dlnator — a self-hosted media downloader that collects content from supported platforms, organizes metadata, and builds a clean offline media library.
sensetheair — a script to automate wi-fi pentesting tasks using the aircrack-ng suite for faster access point testing.
