Hey There!
My name is Aaliya Jakir
CS @ Georgia Tech
I'm building PlanRoadmap, an AI ADHD startup designed to help people start their tasks @ planroadmap.com
Out of 100s of teams globally, PlanRoadmap was 1 of the top 3 finalists for the Microsoft Imagine Cup.
I graduated from the ACE program, an 80 hours/week Cyber Operations internship with the Air Force Research Lab.

2023
Cyber Operations
Advanced Course in Engineering (ACE)
Cyber Operations and Leadership Internship - AFRL
ACE simulated the geopolitical crisis between US, China, and Taiwan – We had weekly cyber operations, leadership case studies, challenge problems, technical reports, and 8 mile runs. Our technical reports included projects on quantum cryptography, red teaming, malware analysis, and buffer overflows. In our cyber operations, we'd run reverse shells, collect OSINT, reverse engineer malware, and execute remote code.
Intense but one of the coolest experiences of my life.

Cybersecurity & Research
VICEROY
Research and Cybersecurity Program - AFRL
I was researching hyperdimensional computing for robot maze navigation with a mentor at the Air Force Research Lab while working on weekly programming problems and technical reports in topics such as steganography, network protocols, timing attacks, and race conditions with teams of 3-5.
I was nominated to give the graduation speech, part of the winning team for the capstone event (a cyberwar gaming simulation), and had the opportunity to travel to Washington D.C. to present my experiences and get a tour of the Pentagon.
