About Me

What I Do

I'm a Cyber Security Student & SOC Analyst

I'm a dedicated cybersecurity student at FAST NUCES Islamabad with a focus on defensive security, threat detection, and incident response. I specialize in SOC operations, log analysis, and digital forensics, constantly sharpening my skills through real-world challenges and security labs.

My toolkit includes Wireshark, Splunk, Windows Event Logs, Sysmon, and Hack The Box CDSA. I actively participate in CTF competitions, excelling in Digital Forensics, OSINT, and Cryptography. Every challenge is an opportunity to learn, adapt, and grow stronger in the cybersecurity landscape.
