01 About

Securing the institutions that matter — with rigor, research and clarity.

I'm a cyber security consultant and trainer with 15+ years across the armed forces, the Government of Pakistan, the financial industry and SCADA environments. As a security researcher I've uncovered highly critical vulnerabilities in financial applications and major ISPs in Karachi.

Today I lead application & architecture security for one of Pakistan's leading banks — strengthening security posture, cyber risk management and digital resilience, while training the next generation of defenders.
