## About

Hello\! I'm Abdul Haq Shaik, an Electronics and Communications Engineering graduate from SASTRA University, specializing in Cyber Physical Systems\. I’m deeply passionate about cybersecurity, systems thinking, and building secure, scalable web applications\. My core interests lie in web security, hardware security, and real\-world attack surface exploration where software meets infrastructure\. As a core member of Team 1nf1n1ty, I’ve actively competed in national and international Capture The Flag \(CTF\) competitions\. In 2024, we ranked 5th in India on CTFtime, reflecting our consistency and depth across web exploitation, reverse engineering, forensics, and hardware challenges\. Beyond competitions, I enjoy: \- Building and securing web applications \(Python, Flask, JavaScript, Next\.js\) \- Automating infrastructure and CTF platforms \- Making CTF challenges \- Diving into hardware and embedded system attack surfaces I’m driven by curiosity, disciplined learning, and a strong bias toward hands\-on experimentation\. Whether it’s breaking complex systems in a CTF or building production\-ready applications, I focus on understanding how things work at a fundamental level\. Always open to collaborating on security research, competitive hacking, and challenging engineering problems\.
