The team behind AftPak

Founded AftPak in 2017 to build security infrastructure custom-engineered around each client's actual threat model, not adapted from a commercial shelf product. Leads Al Mahdi Group's broader portfolio alongside AftPak.

Oversees engineering across all seven solution verticals, from AML entity-resolution graphs to AstroSec's flight-software security stack. Previously led infrastructure security for a national telecommunications operator.

Runs AftPak's engagements with government and intelligence agency clients, including the Government & Intelligence Agency Program. Two decades in national security and defense procurement before joining AftPak.

Leads the digital forensics practice, building chain-of-custody tooling that holds up under cross-examination. Regularly serves as an expert witness in cases involving encrypted-device evidence.

Leads red-team and penetration-testing engagements, and built the internal research process behind AftPak's published Security Advisories and Bug Bounty Program triage.

Leads AstroSec, AftPak's dedicated security platform for space technology — covering flight software, ground-link telemetry, and space domain awareness for satellite and orbital operators.
