Greetings!
I’m Ahmed Ryan, a Software Engineer with around
3 years of experience in software development,
particularly in the web domain. I graduated with a
Bachelor’s in Software Engineering from the Institute of Information
Technology, University of Dhaka, recognized as a leading institution
in Bangladesh. My interest in software security began in 2020 when I
participated in a national CTF competition. During my internship in
2022, I worked on an in-house HR portal where I applied OWASP standards
to develop a secure web application, protecting it from external threats
and addressing vulnerabilities. In my final year of undergrad, I developed a tool for
automating web API testing, based on a research
paper.
Currently, I work at Cefalo, a reputable software company,
where I create secure web-based software solutions for European clients.
Alongside, I am developing expertise in the MITRE ATT&CK Framework and expanding my security
skills through various certifications. Additionally, I was involved in research with
the Intelligent Systems and HCI Research Group, exploring the use of AI
to improve the automated detection of community smells in software systems.
I am also actively researching software supply chain attacks to strengthen defenses against
modern threats. In Fall 2025, I will be joining the University of Alabama as a PhD student
in Computer Science to further pursue my passion for cybersecurity research. This blend of
industry experience, academic research, and security training has positioned me to effectively bridge theory
and practice.
