What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a remote junior role on a dynamic, international cybersecurity team, with a strong focus on IT/OT security, threat detection, and incident response.

At THE ARZENS, I worked on live SOC detection engineering, correlating Sysmon and Windows Event Log telemetry to build and tune detections for real attack techniques. I also led a capstone project engineering detections for Brute Force and Pass-the-Hash attack chains.

In my security labs, I built a Wazuh-based threat detection system with custom rules and automated alerts using Python and the Twilio API. I’ve also configured Snort rules and analyzed PCAP files to map attack chains.

My projects include a Flask and Python network reconnaissance suite and a digital evidence management system with Chain of Custody audit trails. I’m studying Cyber Security at Air University Pakistan and have completed certifications in malware analysis fundamentals and Linux forensics.
