About
Attacker's eye. Engineer's hands.
I started in commerce, which taught me early that a security failure is really a business failure. Then came a BS in Software Engineering, a stint running a city transit control centre, and in 2022 SCOLTECH — my own practice for security audits, Python automation and AI integration.
Today I'm doing an MSc in Computer Science at Xinjiang University, China, researching industrial AI where the factories actually are — and bringing that research discipline into every client report I write.
Breaker and builder
I write the finding, the fix, and the automation that keeps it fixed.
Cross-border hours
From China I cover Pakistan, Gulf and EU time, with US overlap.
Reports people use
Written for developers and executives in the same document.
MSc research at Xinjiang University — making industrial and AI systems more precise, explainable and secure.
Industrial AI
Visual anomaly detection for manufacturing: spotting defects on a production line and explaining them in a way a human operator can trust and act on.
Computer visionExplainable AIIndustry 4.0
Manuscript in preparation — method and results shared with collaborators on request.
AI security & threat modelling
Securing LLM pipelines and AI-powered products against prompt injection, data leakage, bias and supply-chain risk — the failure modes classic pentests miss.
LLM red teamingPrompt injectionAI supply chain
Open to research collaborations, workshops and guest lectures.

FAQ
Before we start.
Do you work with clients outside China?
Yes, worldwide. My hours overlap Pakistan, the Gulf, the EU and part of the US day, and everything is delivered in English.
What does a pentest engagement look like?
A free scoping call, then a written plan with fixed scope, timeline and price. Testing follows the OWASP Testing Guide and PTES. You get a CVSS-scored report with reproduction steps and remediation guidance, plus one free retest.
Are you open to full-time or contract roles?
Yes — remote full-time, contract work and research partnerships, around 30+ hours a week. I can start immediately, and my CV is a message away.
How do you handle sensitive data?
Under NDA, inside the agreed scope only, with no client data retained after the engagement and reports shared encrypted.
Can I see references?
Yes. References from kyazz.com, thebeehost and priceoye.pk are available on request, along with redacted report samples and live demos of my systems.
