About

Who am I?

I am Nithik R, an undergraduate Science student at NIT Warangal, interested in the domains of cryptography, security and questions surrounding intelligence, computation and reality.

I’m part of the institute’s cybersecurity club. I am also a member of BlitzHack, a national-level cybersecurity team where I regularly work on CTF challenges. We consistently rank among the top positions in the country.

Beyond subjects and disciplines, what drives me is the act of understanding itself. I don’t write very often. I spend more time lost in my own thoughts than putting them into words. This website is a digital notebook. A place to set down some of those thoughts whenever I feel like it, and to see how they change with time.

I tend to approach problems from first principles and spend a lot of time immersed in self-study, whether that’s breaking down security mechanisms, dissecting mathematical structures, or experimenting with systems at a low level. I enjoy learning new things practically rather than studying a fixed curriculum.

What is Recu?

recu
/riːkʊ/ · noun
An unadorned, first-principles log documenting the decomposition of complex systems into their fundamental structural primitives.

I started this website to document my learnings, and to serve as a viewfinder through which the maturity of my thoughts can be seen as time progresses. I must state clearly that it is not possible to record every idea or lesson. What you find here are the thoughts I chose to write down in moments when I felt the need to.

If you wish to, you are welcomed to write guest posts.
