Md. Minhazul Mowla

I'm a Student of CSE Coder Problem Solver CTF Player

Pursuing Computer Science & Engineering at BRAC University, Dhaka, Bangladesh. Interested in Cybersecurity & Software Engineering.

About Me

Computer Science & Engineering student at BRAC University with a clear focus on Backend Engineering and Cybersecurity. I build systems that work—and then try to break them to make them stronger.

I am the Team Leader of BRACU SHIKARI — the official CTF team of BRAC University. I also lead BRACU DECRYPTORS, competing in cybersecurity events across Bangladesh. CTF isn't just a hobby; it's where I learned to think like an attacker to become a better defender.

Technical Foundation:
Python (primary) → Building backend logic
MERN stack (MongoDB, Express, React, Node.js) → Currently mastering
Java, C, MySQL → Core CS fundamentals
Other Languages → Dart, Flutter, HTML, CSS, JavaScript

What I'm Building:
Currently focused on backend development with Node.js and Express, while leading BRACU's official CTF team in competitions. Every vulnerability discovered in CTF makes me a more security-conscious backend engineer.

Goal:
Secure a backend engineering role where I can write production code while applying security-first thinking. Long-term: Merge backend expertise with application security (AppSec) to build resilient, attack-resistant systems.

Beyond Code:
Cars | Gaming | Football — Strategic thinking in everything I do.
