What I'm looking for

I am looking for opportunities to apply my cybersecurity skills in a dynamic environment that fosters growth and innovation.

I am a dedicated Cyber Security student currently pursuing my Bachelor of Science at Air University, Pakistan. My academic journey has equipped me with a solid foundation in network security, risk management, and ethical hacking. I am passionate about applying my skills in real-world scenarios and contributing positively to the field of cybersecurity.

Throughout my education, I have developed various projects, including a network security system using C and a packet filtering firewall demo in C#. These projects not only enhanced my technical skills but also allowed me to creatively solve problems and work collaboratively with my peers. I am committed to continuous learning and adapting to new challenges in the ever-evolving landscape of cybersecurity.
