Security Engineer , Entrepreneur & FOSS Enthusiast
I build secure systems, solve difficult problems, and believe deeply in privacy, transparency, and open-source values.
Where I Come From
I graduated as a Software Engineer from PUCIT, Lahore in 2021.
My path started in software development, but the curiosity for how systems break, and how they can be defended, pulled me into security.
My Professional Path
The evolution from software engineering to security leadership and founding Exfiltra
Building Foundations
Started as a Software Engineer at Tkxel. I learned the core of product development, architecture, and how high-stakes software systems are engineered from the ground up.
Securing the Flow
Transitioned to Application Security at Systems Limited. This is where the obsession started, understanding not just how to build, but how to protect complex enterprise ecosystems.
Expertise & Leadership
Joined Constellation Software as a Senior Security Engineer. Led security initiatives, deepened technical expertise, and mentored teams on building "security-first" cultures.
The Path Forward
Founded Exfiltra in 2024. Now bridging the gap between high-level engineering and practical, iron-clad security for growing teams worldwide.
My Open-Source Ethos
I'm a strong believer in using, supporting, and advocating for open-source software. I run my entire workflow, both personal and business on Linux and FOSS tools whenever possible.
For me, it's not just a preference.
It's a philosophy about freedom, community,
and building technology that serves people, not the other way around.
What I Stand For
Ethos. Honesty. Excellence.
These are values I try to reflect in my work, my business, and my life.
I believe in:
Doing the right thing even when it's hard
Building products and services with integrity
Helping teams grow securely without unnecessary complexity
Currently Building
Exfiltra is making application and cloud security simpler, more predictable, and accessible for growing teams. Real-world experience, no buzzwords, and engineering-friendly security services for high-growth products.
