Muhammad Zeeshan
@muhammadzeeshan15
Aspiring cybersecurity analyst learning and applying IAM, networking, and research and pentesting machines.
What I'm looking for
I am an aspiring cybersecurity analyst with a foundation in English Literature and Linguistics and growing technical expertise in cybersecurity, networking, and digital defence. I combine strong research, analytical, and communication skills with hands-on experience using tools such as Nmap, Kali Linux, and cloud platforms.
My practical experience includes simulated and remote engagements in IAM, threat analysis, incident response, and security assessments. I implemented RBAC and access controls in IAM simulations that improved oversight for 100+ users and reduced privilege misuse by 40%, and designed solutions that reduced threats and enhanced security posture for client environments.
I have completed focused certifications and projects — including an ISO 27001 mock audit and an AI-powered Python password strength checker — and I look for roles where I can apply technical skills, strengthen incident response capabilities, and contribute to measurable security improvements.
