Cybersecurity Research Lab, FAST National University of Computer and Emerging Sciences Month 2025 – Present Leading cutting-edge research on Zero Trust Identity and Access Management (IAM) architectures specifically designed for Agentic AI systems (autonomous AI agents). Extending and advancing existing research papers by conducting in-depth literature reviews, threat modeling, and developing enhanced Zero Trust frameworks for AI-driven environments. Designing and evaluating secure IAM protocols that address dynamic identity verification, continuous authentication, and least-privilege access in multi-agent AI ecosystems. Collaborating closely with faculty instructor and research team to translate theoretical concepts into practical security solutions, risk assessments, and proof-of-concept implementations. Analyzing emerging threats to Agentic AI, including identity spoofing, privilege escalation, and adversarial attacks, while proposing robust mitigation strategies based on Zero Trust principles. Documenting research findings, preparing technical reports, and contributing to academic publications in the field of AI security and Zero Trust Architecture.

MERN Stack Developer

Birani institute 6th Road Rawalpindi • Temps partiel

May 2022 - Mar 2023 • 10 mos

During my paid MERN Stack internship, I gained hands-on experience building secure and scalable web applications. I developed responsive frontends with React.js, handled server-side logic with Node.js and Express.js, and managed data using MongoDB. I implemented authentication, role-based access, and secure data handling while collaborating with team members to deliver high-quality, reliable projects.
