Software Engineer,
Relentless Learner
I'm a Software Engineering student at FAST NUCES, Pakistan, passionate about building things at the intersection of AI, Cybersecurity, and Cloud Infrastructure. My final year project, DeceptiCloud, is a production-grade AI-driven cyber deception platform that deploys adaptive honeypots, a 7-model ML detection pipeline, LLM-generated responses, and blockchain-based immutable logging.
I've interned at companies including 10Pearls (Data Science), SPS (DevOps & Automation), Nexium (AI-Enhanced Web Development), and Velocity Business Solutions (Cybersecurity). I'm constantly seeking high-impact opportunities to push the boundaries of what's possible.
