Cybersecurity-focused Computer Science graduate · Purple Team mindset · eJPT certified
I hold a BS in Computer Science from FAST-NUCES Lahore (graduated 2026). I like understanding how attacks work so I can design better defences, and I'm especially interested in cloud security and AI for cyber defense.
- 🟣 Final Year Project: AI-Powered Cyber Drill System: Red (attacker) and Blue (defender) agents trained with reinforcement learning (MaskablePPO) attack and defend simulated enterprise networks of up to 50 hosts, with a FastAPI + React dashboard and automated security reports. Supervised by Dr. Ammar Haider, grade A.
- 🏢 Internship, Systems Limited (Aug–Sep 2024), Digital Infrastructure & Security Services: observed day-to-day infrastructure and security operations and gained exposure to how enterprise security teams work.
- 🎯 Practising on TryHackMe and Hack The Box labs.
- 🔴 Offensive: penetration testing methodology, web application exploitation, privilege escalation, Active Directory attack techniques (labs and coursework)
- 🔵 Defensive: network defense, endpoint security, threat detection, SIEM and incident-response fundamentals
- 🤖 AI for security: reinforcement learning for automated attack/defence simulation
