I am a technically motivated professional with hands-on experience in networking, cybersecurity fundamentals, and systems support.
I have a strong interest in enterprise networking, infrastructure security, and automation. I enjoy understanding how systems work end-to-end and improving them through better design, monitoring, and security practices. Alongside my professional experience, I continuously build projects and labs to strengthen my real-world skills.
I am currently pursuing a Master’s degree in Computer Science at Rowan University while complementing my education with industry certifications and practical cybersecurity projects.

Developed an advanced intrusion detection system to enhance IoT security in cyber-physical environments using supervised deep learning models including CNN, LSTM, and DNN architectures. The system was evaluated on benchmark datasets such as KDDCup99, NSL-KDD, and UNSW-NB15, achieving accuracies of 100%, 95.1%, and 87.4% respectively. A Flask-based web application was deployed to demonstrate real-time anomaly detection with standardized data preprocessing. This research was published in the Proceedings of ICCIET 2024 by Atlantis Press.
Developed a proof-of-concept keylogger application capable of capturing keyboard input events through a graphical user interface. This project was created for cybersecurity awareness and educational demonstrations, highlighting how keystroke monitoring works and emphasizing the importance of endpoint protection and ethical security practices.
Developed a web-based Student Database Management System (SDMS) using PHP, HTML, CSS, and MySQL to manage student records, faculty information, attendance tracking, exam data, and registration details. Implemented full CRUD operations across relational tables and incorporated views, stored procedures, functions, and triggers to maintain data consistency and integrity. The system supports automated registration, attendance validation, and reliable ACID-compliant database transactions.
Microsoft certification demonstrating foundational knowledge of cloud concepts, Azure services, security, compliance, pricing, and cloud architecture.
Completed foundational cybersecurity training covering threat landscapes, network security fundamentals, basic cryptography concepts, and security best practices.
Currently preparing for the CompTIA Security+ certification focusing on security operations, risk management, threat detection, incident response, and network security.
