Hi, I'm Saumay Lunawat

CS grad student at IIT Hyderabad, passionate about network security and systems. Currently diving deep into 5G/RAN security research! 🚀

About Me

The story behind the code and the person who writes it

Hey there! I'm a tech enthusiast currently pursuing my Master's in Computer Science at IIT Hyderabad . I'm part of the NeWS Lab where I focus on RAN Security research.

My journey started at Medicaps University where I completed my Bachelor's degree. I've been fascinated by the intersection of networks, security, and systems ever since.

Personal Projects & Interests

When I'm not working on research, I enjoy experimenting with different technologies across my homelab that I use for various self-hosting experiments and learning about system administration.

I'm passionate about self-hosting services, working with Docker containers, and exploring system administration concepts.
