Building secure software systems with engineering discipline and cyber defense mindset.

I'm Abhishek Vaidya, a Cybersecurity graduate student at UT Dallas. My work spans full-stack development, secure system design, and cloud security.

I build with React, Next.js, Spring Boot, Python, and JavaScript, and I operate across AWS, Azure, MongoDB, and Docker. I focus on software that is resilient under real-world abuse, not only happy-path demos.
