AAYUSH NEUPANE
SUMMARY
Final-year Computer Engineering student focused on cybersecurity. Built a hybrid intrusion detection system and a multithreaded packet analyzer reaching 8,200 packets per second; 1st place in a Capture The Flag competition. Targeting SOC Analyst, Penetration Testing and security-focused SWE roles.
EDUCATION
Coursework: Cryptography, Information Security, Computer Networks, Operating Systems, Data Structures & Algorithms, Discrete Mathematics, Linear Algebra.
EXPERIENCE
Started my Computer Engineering degree in Dhulikhel, Nepal. Coursework that shaped everything since: Cryptography, Information Security, Computer Networks, Operating Systems and Data Structures & Algorithms.
Remote internship working on network defense and penetration testing. Analysed TCP, UDP, HTTP and DNS traffic with Wireshark and custom scripts, practised reconnaissance and vulnerability assessment, and applied symmetric and asymmetric cryptography on real lab targets.
ACHIEVEMENTS
- 011ST — PLACE — CAPTURE THE FLAGEnumeration, exploitation, and a flag recovered before the clock did.
- 023RD — PLACE — INTER-DEPARTMENT CHESSKathmandu University championship. Position, candidates, calculation.
- 033.8 — GPA — KATHMANDU UNIVERSITYB.E. Computer Engineering, 2022 — 2027 (expected).
- 048,200 — PACKETS / SECONDPacket analyzer throughput, 7.4× over the baseline. p99 442 μs.
- 050.40 — LEAVE-ONE-TOOL-OUT RECALLEigenguard — against 0.999 on a random split. Evaluation design matters.
