Ajaj Ahmed

I’m a motivated, detail-driven Cybersecurity and Digital Forensics student with solid theoretical and practical knowledge across network security, SOC/SIEM operations, and digital investigations. I’ve built hands-on experience in penetration testing, data analysis, and forensic workflows, while strengthening my programming foundation with Python and C++ and my web familiarity with HTML/CSS. I’m also well-versed in the core concepts of CCNA and CEH, and I’m actively looking to turn that knowledge into real-world security impact through relevant certifications.

I perform vulnerability assessments on web and network systems using tools like Nmap, Burp Suite, and Metasploit, and I use SIEM/SOC tooling such as Wazuh, Splunk, security onion, and Elastic Security (ELK Stack) to detect, investigate, and respond to potential threats. For investigations, I’m skilled in Windows forensics with tools like Autopsy, FTK, Volatility, RegRipper, and Wireshark, including identification, acquisition, preservation, and analysis of digital evidence, plus NTFS and timeline analysis with proper chain of custody. Alongside my BSc (Hons) studies in Cybersecurity and Digital Forensics at University of West England through the British College Trade Tower, I bring collaborative, Agile-style working habits and leadership experience to help teams deliver secure outcomes consistently.
