My life turned upside down in November 2019 when I broke up with my girlfriend of 2.5 years. I went into depression and started having panic attacks and anxiety. I stopped talking to most of my friends and distanced myself from everyone.

At the time, I was working as a developer intern for a startup. Usually, I loved the work and could spend hours coding away without complaining. But the breakup made me lose interest in everything including the job. That was definitely the lowest and darkest period of my life where I could not focus on anything and didn’t…

Ever since the coronavirus pandemic began, people have started to work from home where they have little to no protection for their home networks. Hackers and malicious users have been taking a lot of advantage of this.

In 2020, 80% of companies in the US have seen an increase in cyberattacks. Ransomware attacks rose 148%. The monetary damage is projected to hit $6 trillion annually by 2021. Cloud-based attacks rose 630% between January and April 2020.

After joining my undergraduate degree in Computer Science, a whole new dimension of Web Development and Data Science opened up. Now, my college’s curriculum was mostly theoretical like a…
