Dipesh Dhakal | Cybersecurity Specialist

About Me

Hello! I'm Dipesh Dhakal, a passionate cybersecurity specialist based in Kathmandu, Nepal. Currently pursuing my BSc. (Hons) in Ethical Hacking and Cyber Security at Coventry University.

My fascination with cybersecurity began during my time as a Radio Station Technician, where I was responsible for maintaining network infrastructure. This experience sparked my interest in network security and protecting digital systems from various threats.

Today, I'm focused on expanding my knowledge and skills in ethical hacking, penetration testing, and threat analysis. My goal is to contribute to making the digital world safer for everyone by identifying vulnerabilities and developing effective security solutions.

When I'm not analyzing security protocols or participating in CTF challenges, I enjoy engaging in cybersecurity forums and sharing my knowledge with peers through security awareness training sessions.
