Hi, I’m Syed.

Welcome to my home on the internet!

To earn a living, I intercept application and network traffic, where I try to find security loopholes automation cannot find. I’m a Computer Scientist specializing in Cyber Security with more than 9 years of industry experience. As per my current profession, I lead an application security team also working with DevSecOps for a global Fortune 500 organization, but I also consider myself a keen security researcher, penetration tester, technology enthusiast, and Capture the Flag player.

During my time away from the keyboard, I am an occasional photographer and self-proclaimed baker, where my expertise resides in glazed cinnamon rolls. Research shows that maintaining a blog gives a feeling of being connected to a person's work and interests. In particular, I aim for this blog to serve as a creative catalyst for recording technical research and activities I love.

I would love to have feedback! Feel free to contact me through my Twitter handle for any improvements or questions that you might have.

Happy reading!
