Hi, I’m Ankit Maurya.
I work in cloud security, application security, and automation engineering. Most of my work revolves around building secure infrastructure, improving visibility across environments, and automating repetitive operational tasks.
Over the years, I’ve developed a strong interest in practical security engineering — not just theoretical concepts. I enjoy understanding how systems actually work under the hood, breaking down complex architectures, and building secure solutions that are usable in the real world.
What I Do
My primary areas of focus include:
- Cloud Security
- Application Security
- DevSecOps
- Infrastructure Hardening
- Security Automation
- Self-Hosted Infrastructure
- AI + Workflow Automation
I spend a lot of time working with:
- Web Application Pentesting
- API Security
- Cloudflare
- Docker
- Linux
- Python Scripting
- Authentication systems
- Reverse proxies and tunnels
- AI workflow automation tools like n8n
I’m especially interested in building systems that combine:
- security
- automation
- reliability
- simplicity
Home Lab & Self Hosting
Outside of security engineering, I spend a lot of time building and maintaining self-hosted infrastructure and home lab environments.
I enjoy:
- repurposing old hardware
- testing new infrastructure tools
- deploying services securely
- experimenting with reverse proxies and identity systems
- learning how modern platforms work internally
A lot of my learning comes from hands-on experimentation.
Content & Writing
I created this website as a place to document:
- things I learn
- systems I build
- security concepts
- infrastructure experiments
- deployment guides
- automation workflows
My goal is to keep the content practical and implementation-focused.
I prefer writing about:
- real-world security
- infrastructure decisions
- deployment architecture
- lessons learned while building systems
instead of purely theoretical content.
Current Interests
Right now I’m particularly interested in:
- AI security
- secure AI workflows
- browser automation agents
- MCP monitoring and visibility
- cloud-native security
- authentication systems
- scalable self-hosted infrastructure
- DevSecOps automation
Beyond Tech
Outside of work and projects, I enjoy exploring new technologies, experimenting with tools, and continuously learning how systems operate internally.
In my free time, I like watching anime and web series, listening to music, and taking breaks from technical work by exploring different forms of entertainment and content online.
I believe strong engineering comes from curiosity, consistency, and hands-on building.
