What I'm looking for

I’m looking for SOC Analyst/Cybersecurity Analyst roles where I can strengthen monitoring and incident response, support threat intelligence, and help automate triage with AI—backed by my digital forensics and cryptography research.

I’m an Information Security MS candidate at NUST SEECS and a cybersecurity researcher with expertise in network forensics, cryptographic protocol design, and AI-driven security automation. My work spans applied cryptography and threat analysis—evidenced by my IEEE Xplore publication on cryptanalysis and security evaluation of an ultralightweight RFID protocol.

As a Teaching Assistant for Data Science & Information Security, I supported hands-on learning through quiz/assignment preparation, grading, feedback, and assessment records. In labs and personal projects, I’ve recovered 15+ artefacts from disk images, produced ISO27037 chain-of-custody documentation, and built an n8n threat-alert pipeline using threat intelligence APIs and ChatGPT classification to reduce simulated manual triage by ~60%—all while staying focused on SOC-ready incident and threat operations.
