🔭 Nahom Wondimu

Shaping the future instead of inheriting it.

I’m a Computer Science student at the University of Maryland (University Honors) and an aspiring cybersecurity professional. My journey blends experimental systems design, security research, full-stack development — from building AWS “fake internet” labs and penetration testing tools to community platforms and research projects.

I learn quickly, adapt easily, and build with impact in mind.


At a Glance (an overview)


🔬 Research & Experimental Systems Work

Neurobit Maze Simulation

Lightweight agents. Emergent behavior. Self-organizing pathways.

Built a simulation where small “neurobits” navigate mazes using simple rules, XOR-based mutation, and pattern matching. Focus areas:

  • emergent swarm behavior
  • lightweight learning without neural nets
  • mutation-driven adaptation
  • real-time visualization (Pygame)

AWS “Fake Internet” Cyber Range

Four subnet domains. Realistic attack paths. Full observability.

Designed a multi-subnet AWS VPC to simulate real-world network environments (café WiFi, enterprise, malicious infra, university). Used it to run controlled experiments in:

  • adversarial scanning + lateral movement
  • network segmentation + routing behavior
  • packet analysis + SIEM log aggregation
  • isolated malware-style behavior
