Learning Initiatives

Have you deployed an application using Infrastructure-as-Code (IaC)?

Written a parser for an interesting file format?

Read through RFCs on a Friday night?

If so, the Department of Learning Initiatives would love to have you as a member!

We balance our activities across three categories – research, development, and the design of technical workshops. While we deeply value technical expertise, we believe that passion and a genuine interest in learning are equally valuable – especially if one’s technical capabilities are currently developing. So don’t worry too much if you don’t have the technical chops, we hold honesty and the drive to learn in higher regard.

Our work revolves around application, network, and operating system security (although we are always open to exploring new domains):

• Null Capture-The-Flag
• Cloud-Native Distributed Honeypot
• Compliance Oriented Server Hardening

A historical overview of the workshops we've held are:

• Welcome Event
• Linux 101 Workshop
• GRC Workshop
• Co-op and Internship Talk
• Password Workshop

If you’re curious about our work, feel free to reach out to me (Devesh Chande), I’m always happy to help you decide whether we’re the right fit for your professional goals.

P.S. Please note that this is a volunteering position! :)
