01 — About

Securing systems
from the ground up.

I'm Saugat Dahal, a Cybersecurity student at Victoria University Melbourne, specialising in network security, infrastructure protection, and offensive testing techniques.

My work lives at the intersection of networking and security — understanding how systems are built so I know exactly how to defend (and test) them. I've moved from the classroom to real-world infrastructure, designing a network that links three hospitals across Melbourne.

When I'm not building or breaking networks, I'm sharpening skills in cloud security, operating system hardening, and scripting to automate the things that matter.
