My name is Zulfiqar Ali Khan, and I have recently completed my Ph.D. in computer science from Texas Tech University (TTU). My GPA is 3.75. I am interested in software development and testing jobs; I know C, Java, PHP, Python, Solidity, and JavaScript. In addition, I have more than 20 years of experience teaching several programming courses. My primary programming project in my Ph.D. research is a tool called TechyTech for the vulnerability detection of Ethereum Smart Contracts (SCs). I have used it to detect four vulnerabilities, e.g., reentrancy, locked Ether, tx.origin, and selfdestruct. TechyTech uses a dynamic analysis approach, with one unique characteristic of verifying its results using assertions. The tool works in the Truffle environment and is programmed using node.js, a variant of Javascript. TechyTech has several attributes like argument passing, exception generation, attacker module, etc., which I have discussed in my under-reviewed paper. However, TechyTech focuses on case studies instead of testing thousands of SCs. But case study details as provided in my research paper (Dynamic Analysis for Detection of Self- Destructive Smart Contracts) are very useful for novice developers. In Python, I am familiar with several packages like Numpy, Pandas, Matplotlib, and statistical packages like Scipy, Seaborn, and Statsmodels. Currently, I am teaching a Data Science course at TTU.
I am familiar with Java GUI development (Swings), Client-Server Programming, RMI, and database connectivity. I have also taught a Java programming course at Texas Tech University. I am familiar with both Apache NetBeans and Eclipse frameworks. I am particularly excited about the opportunity to contribute to Siri InfoSolutions because this job is related to Java. I have several years of Java exposure. Henceforth, I will ensure all job requirements.
Kindly consider my resume if any opportunity clicks. Zulfiqar Ali Khan,
