Hello World!, Pleasure to see you here. My name is

David Wathuchi Gacheru

And I'm just a young, curious techie on a mission to build cool stuff and make the internet a safer place.

More about me, ...


I'm a Computer Science student at Kenyatta University building towards a career in Application Security. I am currently re-learning and mastering how to build websites and mobile applications that work — and I'm also studying how to make them unbreakable.

Based in Nairobi, Kenya, currently focusing deep into the nitty gritty of full-stack software development and cybersecurity, particularly Web Application Security, Mobile Security and Bug Bounty Hunting at the moment, and maybe additional interest in Cloud Security, Network Security, IoT and Connectivity Security, Security Operations, Threat Intelligence, Cryptography and Reverse Engineering later on.

About me

I try to think about problems in the society and try to solve them using the tech skills I am acquiring everyday

I am a first-year Computer Science student with real-world experience delivering a clients project. I built and deployed a complete e-commerce website for Kazana Glasses and CNC Services — handling front-end development, hosting, and deployment.

I am also highly interested in learning about AI, and the effects of its rapid growth that have changed the recent years of Tech by storm. The latest fascinating thing I have been learning about AI is how it can be used in cybersecurity, both for defense and offense. I am particularly interested in how AI can be used to automate vulnerability discovery and exploitation, as well as how it can be used to enhance security monitoring and incident response. An example of an AI model that has really fascinated me is Mythos by Anthropic — a large language model that can be used for a variety of cybersecurity tasks, including vulnerability discovery, penetration testing, and incident response. I am excited to see how AI will continue to evolve and impact the field of cybersecurity in the coming years.

Alongside my degree at KU, I am currently enrolled in Cybersecurity and Full-Stack Software Development programmes — building the skills to become an Application Security Engineer.

When I am not studying or building, I'm thinking about how I can work on becoming 1% better every day.
