Red Team / Cyber

Adnan Syed

Cybersecurity Analyst × Software Engineer

I break systems so defenders can protect them. Focused on offensive security, red teaming, and penetration testing — I understand infrastructure better than the attackers do. Based in the intersection of code and chaos.

I build resilient, performant systems from the ground up. From distributed streaming pipelines to high-throughput Rust benchmarking tools — I write code that scales, survives, and ships.
