I'm Vian — a TKJ student wiring up networks, breaking into CTF boxes, and shipping web experiments. This is my internet lab.

Agents that do the boring parts
I wire up AI agents, API tools, and coding assistants into real workflows — from a text-to-website builder to automations that take grunt work off my plate.
The plumbing behind the magic
60 hands-on MikroTik labs deep — routing, switching, VLANs, NAT, firewalls, hotspots. I configure it, break it, fix it, then write down exactly what happened.
Break to understand, defend to win
#1 LKS Cybersecurity champion and Cyber Jawara nominee. CTF practice, web exploit basics, Linux forensics — learning defense by understanding offense.
Ship it, then make it sing
Portfolios, dashboards, and interactive tools built fast and refined in public. Motion, type, and layout that feels intentional — not templated.

CTF practice, web exploit basics, and Linux forensics — learning defense by understanding offense.
Agent workflows and API tools that take the boring parts off my plate so I can build more.
Portfolios, dashboards, and interactive UI — small experiments shipped fast and refined.
Describe a site in plain text, watch it build itself.
A pocket workbench for capture-the-flag practice.
A gentle nudge that makes idle scrolling visible.
Interactive data visualization sandbox.
Turn photos into clickable, shareable links.
A focused social feed built for classrooms.
Generate clean text in seconds.
Master the words that matter most in English.
A tidy place to watch money move.
Fast, clean, ready-to-sell websites.
Everything I reach for across networking, security, AI and the web — spin the sphere and grab a name.

[ 06 ] — How I got here
Entered SMK Dwija Bhakti 01 and began Computer & Network Engineering — first contact with routing, Linux, and the command line.
Expanded into competitions, English presentation, and stronger networking practice — Cyber Jawara and English national nominations.
Deeper cybersecurity readiness, a #1 LKS Cybersecurity finish, #1 school ranking, and a portfolio that ships.
Heading toward C1 English, more security depth, and tools that other people actually use. Learning by building, in public.

[ 08 ] — Beyond the classroom
Contributing to school IT club activities, sharing knowledge about networking and cybersecurity, and helping junior students with technical problems.
Learning to contribute to open source on GitHub — documentation improvements and small bug fixes while learning from experienced developers.
Continuous learning through online courses, YouTube tutorials, and technical docs — 2–3 hours daily on skill development.
Creating educational content about technology, sharing learning experiences on social media, and building a presence in the tech community.
[ 09 ] — Learning in public
An intro to the MikroTik hardware ecosystem and RouterBoard product specs — where to start and what the numbers mean.
A comprehensive look at RouterOS features and license levels for different use cases.
A step-by-step guide to installing Winbox and doing the initial configuration of a MikroTik device.
Getting comfortable with both the graphical and command-line interfaces of MikroTik.
Personal strategies, resources, and daily routines that actually moved my English proficiency forward.
Practical tips for balancing study and projects — tracking productivity and keeping a sane schedule.
Yes. I'm a vocational (TKJ) student building in public, and I'm always open to internships, freelance builds, or collaboration on networking, security, AI, or web projects. The weirder the technical challenge, the better.
