Aspiring cybersecurity practitioner focused on network defense, secure infrastructure, and applied threat detection.
What I'm looking for
I am an aspiring cybersecurity enthusiast and Brac University computer science student developing into an intermediate security practitioner. I focus on applying technical foundations in network defense and secure infrastructure to solve real-world security challenges.
My hands-on projects include building a zero-day malware detection model using LightGBM and VGG-16/CNN with transfer learning, and creating an Agentic SOC automation lab that integrates Wazuh, Docker, n8n and Elasticsearch for automated incident response.
I have implemented system-level software such as a custom UNIX shell in C using fork, execvp, pipes and custom signal handling, and built full-stack systems like AgroPlanner with Laravel, SCSS and JavaScript to enable secure e-commerce workflows.
I am actively pursuing practical certifications (Google Cybersecurity Professional Certificate and CCNA training) and continually expanding skills across Python, SQL, C, PowerShell, security tooling and networking to strengthen my operational security capabilities.
