Where design
meets defense.

I’m a cybersecurity analyst and UX/UI designer with a rare dual perspective: I understand how attackers think, and I understand how users behave. This combination lets me build systems that are not just secure by policy, but secure by design.

My background spans SOC operations, network defense, and incident investigation alongside years of user research, wireframing, and product design. I’ve built a Raspberry Pi network security lab using Pi-hole DNS filtering, designed Google-certified UX projects, and deployed cloud infrastructure with security guardrails baked in from day one.

I hold an MBA in Marketing from JNTU Hyderabad and a BA in Carpet Design from the University of Sistan and Baluchestan. I’m completing my CompTIA Security+ certification at Syracuse University. I believe "human error" is a design failure — and I fix it at the source.

Career Journey

From Design to Defense

Why my UX background is my primary engine for building structural digital resilience — and how I came to understand that “human error” is always a design failure.

Data Visualization

Cognitive Load in Cyber Operations
