Software Engineer & Cybersecurity

Soven Chan

Building secure, intelligent software at the intersection of engineering and cybersecurity.

About Me

I'm a Year 3 Computer Science student at the University of London, specialising in Machine Learning and Artificial Intelligence. My passion sits at the intersection of software engineering and cybersecurity — I'm fascinated by how AI advancements are rapidly reshaping the security landscape.

I enjoy keeping up with the latest technologies and gadgets, solving problems through coding projects and strategy games, and building software that is both functional and secure. I'm currently studying for the CompTIA Security+ certification.

Most recently, I independently built AI-native enterprise SaaS products at NetGain Systems, implementing secure backend architectures and RAG pipelines deployed in production for enterprise clients.
