Behind the Code

About Me

Raj Lama

A cybersecurity professional and software developer with a Master's in Cybersecurity & Networks from the University of New Haven, operating at the intersection of robust security protocols and efficient application development.

My technical foundation spans secure network infrastructure and modern software engineering. Whether I am architecting an Android application like Personal Health Buddy using Kotlin and Jetpack Compose, or deploying dynamic, database-driven web platforms, I ensure that a zero-trust mindset is built into the architecture from the very first line of code.

Beyond development, I have hands-on experience in risk assessment, vulnerability management, and incident response. I rely heavily on Python, PowerShell, and Bash scripting to automate defenses, eliminate manual vulnerabilities, and scale secure systems rapidly.
