What I'm looking for

I am seeking a dynamic role in cybersecurity that fosters growth and innovation, where I can apply my skills in penetration testing and contribute to enhancing security measures.

I am a dedicated cybersecurity student with a strong foundation in penetration testing and network security. My recent internships at Trillium Information Security Systems and Thincscorp have equipped me with practical skills in vulnerability assessments and malware analysis. I have successfully conducted penetration tests on various applications, identifying critical security vulnerabilities and enhancing overall system security.

My academic journey at FASTNUCES has been marked by a commitment to excellence, achieving a CGPA of 3.45 and earning recognition as a Bronze Medallist. I have also contributed to my peers as a Teaching Assistant in Ethical Hacking and Fundamentals of Node.js. My final year project involved developing a machine learning model to detect False Data Injection attacks in Vehicular Ad-Hoc Networks, showcasing my ability to apply theoretical knowledge to real-world challenges.
