Building communities before building a career.

Cloud Native Security Pakistan (CNSP)

Pakistan — Lahore, Karachi, Islamabad

A practitioner-run, CNCF-recognised cloud-native security chapter I founded to give engineers, students, and open-source contributors in Pakistan a place to learn cloud-native and Kubernetes security — and to bridge local developers to the global CNCF ecosystem.

CNSP began with a Lahore focus and grew into a Pakistan-wide identity across Lahore, Karachi, and Islamabad. It runs technical talks, workshops, meetups, and Hacktoberfest events, and helps newcomers move from consuming open source to contributing. The chapter is affiliated with CNCF as a recognised security chapter (chapter recognition 2023); I started the community in 2022.
