I've built web applications end-to-end, including The Online Tourist Guide (OTG), which connects travelers with Pakistan's destinations through personalized recommendations, seasonal insights, reviews, and Google Maps integration.

As a self-employed web developer, I handled OTG's backend development, API integration, MySQL database management, secure user authentication, and Git-based version control using PHP, Laravel, and Django.

During my internship at Pakistan Broadcasting Corporation, I built scalable Laravel applications using MVC architecture, Blade templates, Eloquent ORM, database schema design, routing, controller logic, and optimized SQL queries. My work supported faster page loads, secure data access, and maintainable internal digital systems.

I'm now building toward network and cybersecurity, drawing on coursework in Cyber Security, Information Security, System & Network Administration, and Routing & Switching. I practice network security, forensics, and security challenges through picoCTF and CyLab Security Academy, with particular interest in infrastructure and network defense.
