I'm Mohammed Niyas NF. I live in Dubai, UAE, where I secure and automate the future.

I'm a Linux Engineer with 2 years of hands-on experience managing enterprise Oracle Linux and Ubuntu environments across multi-client infrastructures in the UAE. My work spans keeping mission-critical systems highly available, automating operations with Bash and Ansible, and managing incident response through SOC and NOC workflows.

My drive for security led me to build ORION IDS — a production-grade, full-stack Network Intrusion Detection System and my MSc capstone. It delivers Wireshark-grade live packet capture via Scapy, a stateful rule-based engine covering 9 distinct attack vectors, and a React dashboard streaming real-time threat data over WebSocket at sub-100ms latency.

I hold certifications in AWS and Oracle Cloud Infrastructure and am currently pursuing an MSc in Information Security. I'm focused on transitioning into a cybersecurity-engineering role — particularly in SOC operations, cloud security, or infrastructure hardening.

Beyond the terminal, I communicate fluently in English, Malayalam, Tamil, and Hindi — bridging technical and human contexts across diverse teams.
