Menahal Saghir Chaudhry

Cybersecurity Engineering student at Abu Dhabi University. I find what attackers try to hide — deleted files, buried timelines, malicious packets. Focused on SOC analysis, digital forensics, and incident investigation.

whoami

I'm a cybersecurity engineering student who learns by investigating. I've reconstructed a 4-day breach timeline across three devices, recovered every file an attacker tried to destroy, and traced malicious traffic down to the packet.

My lane is defensive security: SOC analysis, network monitoring, digital forensics, and incident response. Cisco-certified (Introduction to Cybersecurity), Dean's Honour Roll, and actively seeking internship opportunities to do this against real adversaries.
