About Zahid

Welcome to my blog! I’m a builder and researcher with interests spanning security, software development, and DevOps. I enjoy exploring how things work, finding their weaknesses, and creating better ways to build and protect systems. Living in Vancouver, BC, I use this space to share explorations, projects, and ideas at the intersection of technology, security, and problem-solving.
