🚀 About Me

I am a Computer Science graduate from Shaheed Benazir Bhutto University Sheringal (SBBU) with a specialized focus on Cybersecurity, Cryptography, and Secure System Design, currently based in Islamabad, Pakistan.

My work sits directly between research and the terminal:

  • 🧪 Hands-on Offensive & Defensive Security: Engineering intrusion detection systems (NIDS), vulnerability scanners, post-quantum hybrid encryption engines, and Android security testing tooling.
  • 🎯 100 Ethical Hacking Projects Challenge: Publicly building and shipping 100 focused cybersecurity builds across traffic analysis, vulnerability discovery, controlled malware simulation, forensics, and Sigma detection rules.
  • ⚔️ Practical Lab Experience: Active practitioner on TryHackMe (S4LAM) and Hack The Box.
  • 🤝 Collaboration & Opportunities: Open to full-time cybersecurity roles, security engineering, penetration testing, research collaborations, and open-source contributions.

"Security isn't about breaking systems — it's about understanding them well enough to protect them."
