Cybersecurity student focused on DFIR, CTFs, packet analysis, and incident response. Passionate about solving security challenges.
What I'm looking for
I’m a Cybersecurity undergraduate at Air University (ISC2 Certified in Cybersecurity) with hands-on experience across digital forensics, binary exploitation, and detection engineering. At Pakistan's National Cyber Emergency Response Team, I strengthened the security posture of 2 internal production tools by leading end-to-end vulnerability assessments—covering threat modeling, code review, and remediation—using Python automation on a Linux development environment to surface flaws before deployment.
I build systems that translate real-world attacker behavior into actionable defenses. My projects include a Threat Intelligence Detection Engine that automates the threat intelligence-to-detection workflow by mapping adversary behavior to 42 MITRE ATT&CK techniques with confidence scoring and generating deployable Sigma, YARA, and Snort rules, plus a Windows artefact extractor that reduces manual forensic analysis by automating structured parsing from EnCase image files. I also maintain Docker-containerized CTF infrastructure to support hands-on penetration testing at scale, and I’ve demonstrated secure, documented software design through C++ firewall lifecycle work.
