Building secure systems from the silicon layer up. Cybersecurity undergraduate at GIKI focused on threat detection, cryptographic engineering, and full-stack development. Nationally recognised, research-active.
I'm a rising 3rd-year Cybersecurity undergraduate at GIKI, Pakistan's premier engineering university. I build secure systems end-to-end — from hardware-level cryptographic processors and malware detection engines in C++, to backend services and web applications.
My security approach is architectural: I don't just find vulnerabilities, I understand how systems fail from the silicon layer up. Current coursework in Computer Architecture and Assembly Language gives me hardware intuition most software engineers lack.
Outside academia, I've delivered 1,000+ hours of STEM instruction to international students across UK curricula — over 90% achieved top grades. In security, communication is as critical as the code.
National cybersecurity competition finalist. Co-authored peer-reviewed network research. Currently designing an AES-inspired cryptographic processor from scratch at the hardware level.
Signature-based malware detection engine built from scratch in C++. Integrates tries, hash tables, bloom filters, and priority queues into a unified detection pipeline mirroring enterprise NOC threat systems. Fully verified for memory safety via Valgrind across the entire pipeline.
Designing an 8-bit cryptographic processor with a locked AES-inspired instruction set from scratch — building hardware-level intuition for encryption at the silicon layer. The locked ISA ensures cryptographic operations cannot be bypassed at the instruction level.
Co-authored a peer-reviewed paper on energy-efficient routing algorithms (LEACH, PSO, VFA, simulated annealing) for wireless sensor networks. Demonstrates network topology depth, distributed system resilience, and infrastructure planning skills.
Modular airline reservation system in 2,000+ lines of C++, implementing Dijkstra's shortest-path algorithm. Clean OOP architecture, full version control, scalable design separating booking, routing, and management concerns.
Air University Islamabad, 2024. Proposed an AI-based threat prioritisation system for Pakistan's Federal Investigation Agency (FIA) — cutting cybercrime response times via intelligent case routing and risk scoring. Competed against teams nationally.
