Security+ · MSIT @ UNC Charlotte · Founder @ BitPostage
Security-minded builder who actually ships things.
I’m Mrugesh Lavani, a graduate IT student and co-founder of BitPostage, a crypto-enabled shipping automation platform. I like taking messy problems, instrumenting them, and turning them into reliable, secure systems.
Based in Morrisville, NC · Open to security, platform, and backend internships for 2026.

About
I came back for my Master of Science in Information Technology to go deeper on security, systems, and design — and I wire those directly into the projects I build.
My default mode is: understand the system, instrument it, remove the flakiness, and document what I did so others can build on top. I care about reliability and security as much as features.
Current Work
Co-Founder – BitPostage
Crypto-enabled shipping automation · Aug 2023 – Present
- Built and deployed a full-stack product that generates and manages shipping labels.
- Added structured logging and basic observability to debug failures and improve reliability.
- Automated configuration and environment checks to reduce manual errors.
- Continuously reviewing access and internal workflows to tighten security.
Skills & Focus
I’m strongest where security, automation, and backend development overlap.
- Security: Security+, access control, log analysis, defense-in-depth mindset
- Programming: Python, JavaScript, basic SQL, scripting for automation
- Systems: Linux, Docker, Git, CI/CD basics
- Cloud & Observability: Familiar with cloud services, logging, and monitoring concepts
- Product & UX: Human-centered design training from graduate coursework
Selected Projects
A couple of things that show how I approach real systems, not just toy examples.
BitPostage – Crypto-enabled Shipping Automation
Founder project · Live product
- Designed and implemented backend flows to bridge payments, label generation, and order management.
- Implemented logging around key paths to understand failures and latency over time.
- Introduced automation to remove repetitive steps and reduce error risk.
- Documented assumptions, risks, and mitigations for future improvements.
Cyber Lab – Log Anomaly Demo
A small lab I built to practice how a SOC might reason about suspicious behavior from logs. Click the button to highlight suspicious lines.
Impact in Numbers
I like to quantify the things I build. Here are a few directional metrics from projects and automation work.
Tightened workflows and reduced failure points across projects like BitPostage.
Automation and scripting reduced repetitive tasks and freed up focus for higher-level work.
Access control and dependency reviews reduced internal security and reliability risks.
For Recruiters & Hiring Managers
I’m looking for security, platform, or backend-oriented internships and early-career roles where I can:
- Help analyze and improve production systems, not just build prototypes.
- Work on logging, monitoring, access control, and automation.
- Contribute to a SOC, security engineering, or infrastructure team.
