Cyber Security student by degree, problem-solver by habit. A strong focus on hands-on security practices, encryption technologies, and vulnerability analysis.
I’m Syed Shaheer Hussain, currently doing my Bachelor’s in Cyber Security (BSCY). I spend most of my time breaking problems, fixing them again, and pretending it was all part of the plan. A strong interest in vulnerability analysis, information assurance, and encryption technologies. My learning approach is lab-driven, focusing on practical implementation rather than purely theoretical understanding.
I code. I design. I click. I edit. I overthink decisions. And yes… I make them anyway. ⚽😄
Cyber Security – because protecting systems is cooler than breaking them (legally 👀)
Coding – turning caffeine into logic since forever
Photography - I click pictures and edit them
Designing – making things look smart even before they are smart
Creative Thinking – when normal solutions are boring
Decision Making – especially football decisions (and yes, I still argue about them)
To build
To break
To learn
To fail
To fix
And repeat… professionally
Also:
Where else would I keep my late-night ideas?
Where else would my bugs feel at home?
And how else would future-me judge present-me?
- Chess on Lichess.org/Chess Online & Offline/Chess.com (strategic thinking, pattern recognition)
I’m funny (at least in my own head)
I mix logic with creativity
I believe good design = half the solution
I can over-engineer simple things… and simplify complex ones
I take football decisions very seriously (don’t test me)

Projects that taught me why they didn’t work
Code that improved over time (hopefully)
Ideas that started small and got out of control
-
Cyber Security & Vulnerability Assessment
-
Information Assurance
-
Encryption & Secure Data Handling
-
Practical Security Labs and Simulations
I prefer hands-on labs over pure theory, as they provide deeper understanding and real technical confidence.
I have worked on multiple security-focused projects, including:
-
Secure Password Manager
-
Secure File Encryption & Decryption Tool
-
Caesar & Playfair Cipher Implementations
-
Steganography: Hiding Data in Images
-
Brute Force Attack Simulator on Hashes
These projects helped me strengthen my understanding of cryptography, secure storage, and attack methodologies.
-
Strong analytical and decision-making skills
-
Creative approach to problem-solving
-
Comfortable working independently or collaboratively
-
Habit of late-night coding sessions (productivity peaks after hours)
I am actively interested in:
-
Cyber Security Internships
-
Freelance Security Projects
-
Research Opportunities
-
Long-term full-time roles in Cyber Security
My goal is to continuously improve my skills and contribute meaningfully to secure systems and digital environments.
-
Late-night coding sessions
-
Coffee-powered debugging
-
Music always on
-
Mix of offensive and defensive security thinking
I enjoy both breaking systems to understand them and protecting them from chaos.
-
Cyber Security Vulnerabilities
-
Information Assurance
-
Cryptography & Encryption Systems
-
Secure Data Storage & Transmission
-
Attack Simulation & Defensive Strategies
-
Strong preference for hands-on labs
-
Analytical and structured problem-solving
-
Continuous learning through experimentation
-
Comfortable working under minimal supervision
Good. That means one of these worked:
-
The sarcasm
-
The structure
-
The curiosity
-
Or the fact that you’re procrastinating too
So…
