About

Computer Science graduate from Southeast University, now pursuing a Master's in Information and Cybersecurity at the University of Dhaka to deepen my expertise. I am a proactive cybersecurity enthusiast with hands-on experience gained at BGD e-GOV CIRT, focused on practical application and tool building. My strength lies in translating security concepts into functional Python and Bash scripts to automate tasks and enhance testing capabilities. My hands-on skills include: i. Penetration Testing Support: Assisted in VAPT for web apps and networks using tools like Burp Suite. ii. Security Tool Development: Built Python-based utilities for tasks like port scanning, secure file transfer (SFTP), phishing detection, and encryption to understand and demonstrate security principles. iii. Automation & Scripting: Developed scripts in Bash and Python to automate security processes, making vulnerability assessments more efficient. iv. Project-Based Learning: Continuously building projects to dissect cyber threats—from simulating attacks to creating detectors—which has provided a practical understanding of vulnerabilities and defenses. I am building my career as a security professional and am seeking a role where I can contribute my technical scripting skills, foundational CIRT experience, and passion for developing security solutions.
