About Muhammad Afzal N

I build things that keep data safe. As a 3rd-year Computer Science student specializing in Cybersecurity at APJ Abdul Kalam University, I don\'t just study security — I apply it. My latest project, CryptoStegoBot, is a dual-layer data protection tool I built from scratch,combining AES-256 encryption with LSB image steganography using Python. It\'s open-source, on GitHub, and built to serve the security community. What I bring to the table: → Hands-on experience with Linux (Ubuntu, Kali Linux), Python, and cryptographic libraries → Practical understanding of network security, vulnerability analysis, and secure system design → Strong foundation in open-source development culture through FOSS RIET → Community leadership — currently leading the MuLearn RIE campus chapter, having onboarded and managed hundreds of students through technical events and workshops Beyond the code, I\'ve worn multiple hats — from technical team member to campus co-lead to creative at Rajadhani IEDC, where I designed visual campaigns for innovation-driven events. I understand both the technical and communication sides of a team. I\'m currently seeking cybersecurity internship opportunities where I can contribute to real security challenges — vulnerability assessments, network hardening, security tooling, or anything that sits at the intersection of code and protection. If you\'re building something that needs a sharp, self-driven security-focused developer — let\'s talk. Reach out via LinkedIn DM or check out my work: github.com/muhammad-afzal-n
