Building practical software while developing strong foundations in cybersecurity, systems, and secure engineering.
Focused on building resilient applications, dissecting network protocols, configuring hardened Linux environments, and applying security-first architectural practices.
I'm Utshav Katuwal, a BCS Cybersecurity student from Nepal with a strong interest in software development, cybersecurity, and systems. I enjoy building practical applications, understanding how systems work, and exploring how software can be designed and secured. My current focus is strengthening my foundations in programming, web development, Linux, networking, cybersecurity, and modern software engineering.
Practical web and desktop systems engineered in modern tech stacks, emphasizing clean architecture, modularity, and operational reliability.
Application security (AppSec), protocol inspection, defensive system hardening, raw networking, and secure coding fundamentals.
Containerization with Docker, deployment automation pipelines, reproducible infrastructure setups, and DevSecOps best practices.
Hands-on engineering through iterative building, analytical debugging, systems architecture design, and systematic edge-case resolution.
Practical systems built to solve real-world problems with rigorous engineering.
Service marketplace platform connecting customers with verified technicians based on dynamic service requirements with transparent billing and geolocation.
School management and learning platform covering admissions, students, teachers, accounts, fees, classes, sections, and administrative workflows with dual internal-external network design.
Personal desktop assistant focused on voice interaction, system-level automation, process dispatching, and desktop control via Python subsystems.
Open source repositories, utilities, and security exploration modules.
Low-level packet parsing utility analyzing Ethernet frames, IP packet headers, and TCP/UDP transport metrics via raw sockets.
Role-based authorization and session management service implementing salted cryptographic hashing, JWT claims, and endpoint rate-limiting.
Lightweight CLI observability daemon extracting real-time kernel metrics, memory utilization, and open listening sockets directly from /proc.
