At Neosoft pvt ltd, I harden banking infrastructure, conduct VAPT, and assess supply-chain and third-party risk. I also map and secure OT networks across 14 countries, working with SCADA, PLC, HMI, and DCS systems.

At IBC, I built a SOC unit with SIEM integrations, custom detection rules, and SOAR playbooks that automated Tier-1 incidents. I also executed Red Team and VAPT engagements and implemented ISO 27001 and NIST 800-53 security controls. My projects include tools for network forensics, malware analysis, and threat hunting.
