Welcome to my digital garden!
Hello! My name is Rupam Barui.
About Me
- I’m Rupam Barui, an aspiring software developer and cybersecurity enthusiast from India. Currently, I’m pursuing a 5-year integrated B.Tech - M.Tech degree in Computer Science and Engineering with a specialization in Cybersecurity at National Forensic Sciences University (NFSU), expected to graduate in 2026.
- Coding is my passion! I started with C, C++, and Java, and I’m constantly expanding my skillset and building meaningful projects. I’m eager to collaborate, learn from experienced developers, and contribute to impactful solutions.
- I’m fascinated by the architecture and security of the internet, particularly network infrastructure, DNS systems, and the application of AI in cybersecurity. My goal is to leverage AI to strengthen network defenses and proactively address emerging threats.

What’s in this digital garden?
A digital garden is like a personal wiki and a knowledge database of thoughts and ideas. Similar to a traditional garden, my digital one will also contain various kinds of content (plants), of which may even be unrelated to each other. Ideas are not refined, thoughts are not tailored. They are raw and unfiltered.
This digital garden is a collection of my thoughts, ideas, and projects. It’s a place where I can share my knowledge and experiences with the world. I hope you find something interesting here and that it inspires you to learn something new.
Twitter, for some, is also equivalent to a digital garden. It lets you share thoughts and ideas with everyone. But how often do you go back to those tweets? Not often. That’s why you need a space for your ideas on the internet that you own. Check out Digital gardens let you cultivate your own little bit of the internet
