Hi! नमस्ते!
I'm Priyanshu, a Computer Science undergraduate who enjoys understanding how real systems work behind the scenes.
This site is where I document things I build and the concepts I’m learning along the way, mostly around backend engineering, Linux systems, and building software that is secure and reliable.
About Me
I'm currently in my second year of Computer Science at BITS Pilani, Dubai Campus. Most of my learning happens by building projects, experimenting with tools, and trying to understand how real-world systems are designed and run in production.
Right now, I spend most of my time exploring:
- Backend Engineering: Building REST APIs using Java and Spring Boot, designing modular services, and implementing secure authentication systems using JWT and Role-Based Access Control.
- Linux & Infrastructure: Working with Linux environments, monitoring system resources, parsing logs, and building small infrastructure tools that run as background services.
- System Security: Learning authentication flows like OAuth2 and JWT, studying security vulnerabilities, and implementing protections such as rate limiting, input validation, and access control.
- DevOps & Deployment: Containerizing applications with Docker and experimenting with automated workflows using GitHub Actions for CI/CD.
- Database Design: Designing relational schemas using PostgreSQL and thinking about how data should be structured for scalable backend systems.
The Builder Mindset
For me, the best way to learn computer science is by building real things. Whether it’s creating a secure authentication API, writing a Linux monitoring daemon, or building a SaaS invoicing system, every project helps me understand how software behaves in real environments.
I'm particularly interested in the intersection of backend engineering, infrastructure, and security; the parts of software that users rarely see but that make systems reliable, scalable, and safe.
