PakistanWhat I'm looking for
I am a senior IT infrastructure and cybersecurity professional with 12+ years of experience delivering mission-critical airport and enterprise systems. I lead national-scale operations across multi-site environments, ensuring secure, highly available networks and services.
I've designed and operated secure networks using IPsec, L2 VPNs, MPLS and SD-WAN, and managed CUPPS/BRS deployments migrating airlines from legacy CUTE platforms. I achieved and maintained a 99% system uptime SLA with Pakistan Civil Aviation Authority while coordinating with major international airline IT teams.
My hands-on technical leadership includes SOC/SIEM implementation (Wazuh), endpoint management (ESET Protect for 600+ endpoints), Fortinet firewall administration, virtualization, backups and data center operations. I lead incident response, VAPT remediation, audits, and security training programs.
I seek senior roles in IT Infrastructure, Cybersecurity, or Aviation IT Systems where I can apply my operational rigor, cross-vendor coordination experience, and team mentorship to improve resilience and availability at scale.
