// WHO IS MHD NAZIR SAGHERJI (0xN4zir)?
DAMASCUS, SYRIA 🇸🇾 • DUBAI, UAE 🇦🇪
I am Mhd Nazir Sagherji—operating across cybersecurity ranges, GitHub repositories, and engineering labs under the handle 0xN4zir. From early on, I refused to treat technology as a black box. I wanted to understand the entire stack from the ground up: how electrons move through a custom circuit board, how microcontrollers translate raw sensor voltage into smooth physical motion via PID loops, how network packets can be dissected in Wireshark, how cryptographic protocols behave under adversarial pressure, and how full-stack web platforms can be engineered to feel instantaneous, secure, and visually unforgettable.
After graduating with my High School Diploma from AlNoor International School (2024) with an outstanding 96.36% grade—an academic distinction that earned me the prestigious UAE Golden Visa ⭐—I launched my academic engineering career in the United Arab Emirates at the University of Dubai (College of Engineering & IT). During an intense, high-velocity period in Dubai (2024–2026), I threw myself into every competitive arena, research lab, and leadership role available. I served as Co-President of the University of Dubai Innovation Hub (organizing hackathons, technical workshops, and interdisciplinary AI/robotics research), worked independently as a Workshop Assistant & Robotics Mentor at Besomi Academy (delivering hands-on Arduino, sensors, and embedded electronics sessions), and operated as a frontline cyber competitor inside the university's Cyber-Security and Applied Resilience (C-SAR) Center and C-ST&R Program.
That relentless pace in the UAE produced 7+ national and international podium trophies in under two years: winning 1st Place at the Rushd Initiative Al-Kindi CTF (2026), 1st Place at the IEEE UAE Section Student Day Common Design Project (2025) for an autonomous ESP32-S3 computer-vision logistics robot, 1st Place / Champion at the UD C-ST&R CTF powered by RedTeam Hacker Academy (2025), 2nd Place at DESC's GISEC Global Cyber Defense CTF (2025) with Team "Rage Quitters", 2nd Place at the IEEE BugLoud x C-SAR Bug Bounty Competition (2025), 3rd Place at the Abu Dhabi University CTF (2025) against 250+ competitors across the country, and 2nd Place at the 4th Australian International IEOM Conference Undergraduate Research Competition in Melbourne, Australia.
Recently, I relocated to Damascus, Syria and transitioned my university studies from the University of Dubai to the Syrian Virtual University (SVU), where I started this semester pursuing my degree in Information Technology Engineering (ITE). Studying Information Technology Engineering at SVU gives me a rigorous academic curriculum alongside the flexibility to scale my real-world engineering work: leading the digital presence of Sagherji Integrated Technologies (sagherji.com)—Syria's premier security, solar, telecom, and smart building automation provider founded in 1994—while building bespoke web applications and serving clients worldwide as a Freelance Full-Stack Web Designer & Developer.
Beyond hardware labs, cyber ranges, and enterprise web development, I also love creative software engineering—whether that means shipping zero-bloat open-source utilities like QR Maker & Reader and Windows 11 Folder Colors, automating Windows system maintenance via PowerShell, or scripting interactive multiplayer game mechanics on Roblox. If a problem involves code, circuits, security, or user experience, I build until it works at a championship standard.
