PakistanWhat I'm looking for
I am a motivated cybersecurity researcher and MS Information Security student with hands-on experience in network security, digital forensics, and OSINT automation. I completed a BS in Cyber Security from Air University and am pursuing an MS at PAF-IAST with a thesis on anomaly detection in IoT networks.
In applied roles I have worked as a Lab Engineer and Digital Forensics Analyst, conducting lab sessions, troubleshooting network protocols (DHCP, NAT, OSPF, RIP), and evaluating forensic tools such as Autopsy and Forkit to improve usability and investigative workflows.
I focus on leveraging automation and LLMs to extract actionable intelligence from public data, integrate emerging cybersecurity trends into practical training and labs, and contribute to research-driven security solutions that improve governance and societal well-being.
