About
If you're trying to break into cybersecurity, or level up into AI security, offensive security, or product security, I can help you cut through the noise. I started with no US work history and no network, and built a targeted system that landed me interviews at top tech companies and a full-time security engineering role at IBM. I'm speaking about exactly that approach at BSides Las Vegas 2026.
Today I'm a security engineer at IBM working across AI red teaming, offensive security, and software supply chain security. I've contributed to CISA federal publications and OWASP AI security guides, and was invited to Microsoft's AI Red Team Colloquium alongside teams from Google, Anthropic, OpenAI, and Meta. I hold CISSP and eCPPT.
In our sessions, we work on something specific: your resume, a targeted job search strategy, how to position yourself for AI or offensive security roles, or how to build credibility in product security without prior experience. Every session has a defined goal and a concrete output.
Book a call and we will figure it out whether I can actually help you, and what that looks like.
What mentees say
5 out of 5 stars
I have been fortunate to have Saquib as my mentor, and his guidance has had a meaningful impact on both my technical and personal growth. One of the most valuable opportunities he encouraged and supported me through was participating in the IBM Hackathon. Through that experience, I gained hands-on exposure to AI and machine learning, learned how to collaborate effectively as part of a team, exchange ideas, solve problems under pressure, and turn concepts into a working project. What I appreciate most about Saquib is that his mentorship goes far beyond technical guidance. During some of my low and difficult moments, he was always willing to listen, encourage me, and help me regain confidence and stay focused on my goals. He has consistently shared his experience, provided thoughtful advice, and motivated me to challenge myself and explore opportunities that I might otherwise have overlooked. Saquib is not only an excellent mentor but also someone who genuinely cares about the growth and success of the people he mentors. I am truly grateful for his continued support, encouragement, and the confidence he has placed in me. I would highly recommend him to anyone looking for a knowledgeable, supportive, and genuinely dedicated mentor.

Saquib's response
What happens when you start
You tell Saquib your goals. They see exactly what you want to work on before session one.
You meet within days. Saquib reviews your application and books your first session, usually within a day or two.
You leave with a plan. Concrete next steps and a weekly rhythm from your very first week.
