Cybersecurity enthusiast focused on network security, threat detection, and SOC operations.
PakistanWhat I'm looking for
I am a cybersecurity enthusiast with practical experience in network security, threat detection, and SOC operations, gained through virtual internships and hands-on labs. I combine analytical thinking with technical tools like Wireshark and Nmap to investigate suspicious activity and map findings to frameworks such as MITRE ATT&CK.
My academic background is a BSc in Computer Science from NED University, where I completed projects spanning AI-based accessibility tools to system-level security proofs-of-concept. I have completed multiple Forage virtual experience programs (AIG, ANZ, Mastercard) and Blue Team Labs challenges that sharpened my phishing analysis, packet capture investigation, and vulnerability remediation skills.
I am eager to grow in a professional security environment, contribute to defensive operations, and continue developing automation and detection capabilities using Python, SIEM tools, and network protocol analysis.
