Pakistan

Message

At ITSimplera Solutions, I’m gaining hands-on SOC experience through lab-based projects. I deployed and configured Wazuh SIEM for security monitoring, log collection, and threat detection.

I’ve integrated security logs into Wazuh, monitored alerts, analyzed firewall events, and validated detections. I also configured pfSense, performed malware analysis, and developed custom Wazuh rules and decoders.

Before this, I worked in software quality assurance at F3 Technologies and Exagic, testing web and mobile applications. I also interned in web development at EVS (E-Vision), where I worked with HTML, CSS, JavaScript, PHP, and MySQL.
