CYBERSECURITY AWARENESS SESSIONS—(2022 – Present)
I believe that in this technological era, it is a societal imperative to educate everyone about cybersecurity, especially in schools. Recently, I started cybersecurity awareness workshops/training sessions for school teachers, parents, and students at domestic schools. The prime objective is to extend this nationwide and to various professionals, including lawyers, doctors, etc. Honestly, I got an immense appreciation for this initiative and felt a great sense of accomplishment for giving back to society. This is my little contribution towards building a cyber-secure world.
Presently, I am managing a portal, namely CyberWalk.Pk, with a mission to educate and empower individuals with the knowledge and skills necessary to navigate the digital landscape securely. This is another contribution toward cybersecurity awareness.
TECH WRITER—(2022 – Present)
I am fond of reading articles related to emerging technologies and information security on national and international digital publishers. I am aware of the growing cyber crimes country-wide and attacks on state-owned websites, the banking sector, data breaches, etc. It is vital to analyze the rationale behind the increasing cyberattacks and the need to address such issues. Recently, my article was published by an award-winning digital publisher. I started writing tech articles in local Urdu newspapers; here are my latest articles on ChatGPT, Web 3.0, Metaverse: Exploring the future of Virtual Reality, From Smart Homes to Gadgets: The Rise of IoT Technology
REVIEWER – JNCA, ELSEVIER—(2020 – Present)
It's really a great source for learning to read the latest articles related to my area of research interest. I have actively engaged myself in reviewing research articles, understanding what the author is talking about, analyzing carefully according to the knowledge domain, and providing positive feedback to the authors accordingly. I have been a reviewer at the Journal of Network and Computer Applications, Elsevier, since 2020.
PURPOSE-DRIVEN LEADERSHIP PROGRAM—(Feb. 2016)
HIVE – Global Community for Purpose-Driven Entrepreneurs (CA, USA). Hive selects the people who are working for the greater good in the world. I was selected from Pakistan among 130 CEOs, leaders, entrepreneurs, and innovators from 33 countries around the globe.
DISASTER AND HUMANITARIAN RELIEF—(October 2005)
Besides my academic, industrial, and research activities, I also run a step ahead when it comes to community service as a volunteer. I cannot forget the disastrous earthquake in Azad Jammu and Kashmir (AJK), Pakistan, on October 08, 2005. I spent two months in AJK for volunteer tasks, including management and distribution of supplies for the victims of the earthquake. Being blessed with a universal donor blood group, I donated several times and was always available when there was a requirement.
