A SOC analyst and DFIR practitioner from Lahore, built through forensic investigations, cyber range training, and a genuine obsession with how digital crimes leave traces.
My path into cybersecurity started with a simple question: how do investigators prove what happened on a compromised system? That question pulled me into digital forensics, and forensics pulled me into security operations, because you can't respond to what you can't investigate.
Studying at Lahore Garrison University for a B.Sc. in Digital Forensics and Cybersecurity gave me the academic foundation. Everything else came from doing: 133 TryHackMe rooms, 7 CCFA forensic case reports, a CCFA certification, 9 Splunk SIEM projects, two Forage job simulations with Mastercard and Deloitte Australia, and a growing collection of tools and reports that prove the work, not just the credentials.
I'm drawn to the intersection of forensics and detection, the part of security where you have to think like both an investigator and an analyst at the same time. That combination is what I'm building toward professionally.
Grouped by domain, no arbitrary percentages. If it's listed, it's been used in a real lab, investigation, or project.
Working toward a postgraduate specialization in cybersecurity to deepen technical and research expertise beyond the undergraduate level.
Cloud-focused extension of the Google Cybersecurity Professional Certificate, covering GCP security tools and cloud perimeter defense.
Studying authentication and enhancement techniques for audio and video evidence, extending forensic capability beyond disk and memory analysis.
Building skills in malware behavior analysis and advanced exploitation techniques, strengthening the offensive side of security understanding.
Actively building a custom forensics tool for real-time evidence collection, artifact parsing, and automated reporting.
The main goal. Open to Security Operations Analyst and DFIR practitioner roles, remotely or in-person. Ready to contribute from day one.
