Ph.D. CS student at Purdue University. Working as a researcher in PurNET and NextGArch labs, under the supervision of Prof. Muhammad Shahbaz.

Did my B.Engg & M.S. from NUST, Pakistan, after which I joined the industry ~4 years; starting off as a Malware Researcher, and finally working at the post of Assistant Manager before leaving for Purdue.

My research interests lie broadly in the areas of systems and architectures, with a focus on Security, Networks, and AI. Currently, I am developing NextGen architectural frameworks for large-scale and distributed ML systems.
