At AKD Securities, I troubleshoot and maintain network infrastructure serving data centers, regional hubs, and branches. I handle network upgrades, performance monitoring, capacity planning, and the configuration of routers, switches, firewalls, and VPNs.

At SECURITYPACT, I implemented and managed PAM, SIEM, NDR, and EDR solutions, and conducted vulnerability assessments using Rapid7/Nexpose. I also performed malware and ransomware incident response, reducing mean time to resolution by 30%. Previously, at MULTINET PAKISTAN, I helped deliver 99.9% uptime through proactive monitoring, troubleshooting, and capacity planning.
