About Me

I am energetic and enthusiastic about work, and I strongly believe that everything that comes if we desire strongly has proper requirements.

I love to be creative and expressive. I create a positive atmosphere around me by inspiring and encouraging everyone.

I am more interested in working on formal security analysis (AVISPA) for the security protocol under the IoT and blockchain domains.
