Prashikshit Saini

Security Engineer

I'm Prashikshit Saini, Prash for short. I'm an undergraduate cybersecurity major at LeTourneau University with a deep interest in computers, security engineering, physics, mathematics, and philosophy. I like understanding how things work at the lowest level and questioning the assumptions behind them.

My professional focus is cybersecurity and anything that intersects computer systems, engineering, and problem-solving. I enjoy building secure systems, exploring attack surfaces, and applying theory to real-world challenges. You can find a selection of my projects in the portfolio section.

I also write technical articles, reflections on my learning journey, and philosophical explorations on technology and reasoning. My blogs are available here.
