I’m Zeinab Shariff, a Cybersecurity Engineering student with a strong interest in building secure, practical, and human-centered cyber solutions. I care deeply about making cybersecurity more approachable, especially for students and early-career professionals navigating the field.

At onAir, I serve as a Cyber Hub Curator, where I help curate content, support community engagement, and contribute to discussions that make cybersecurity easier to understand and more relevant to real-world problems. My focus is on fostering a space where people can learn, ask questions, and grow together in a field that can often feel overwhelming or inaccessible.

I’m really glad you’re here, and I hope this hub helps you learn something new and useful along the way:)

A strong-willed and dependable individual with the drive to succeed and the will to thrive. I like to learn everything I possibly can about a situation that I’m involved in.

Every negative incident has a positive teachable moment.

Hi DJ 🙂

こんにちは, Hi! I am currently expanding my skills in Information Technology and rapidly learning Japanese as it’s my favorite foreign language.

Throughout, my tenure in Mason, I learned how to model Databases, program in Java, and even study abroad in Japan as an international student! With these skills, I feel empowered to tackle global technological challenges.

Passionate about exploring the intersection of technology, ethics, and societal impact. My work spans research in AI ethics, responsible AI governance, and the practical applications of machine learning, all grounded in a commitment to leveraging technology for humanity’s highest needs.

Currently contributing to groundbreaking research on detecting deceptive interactions in Large Language Models (LLMs) under the guidance of leading experts at GMU. This research focuses on embedding space analysis to enhance the safety and robustness of AI systems.

As founder of InternConnect, a career incubator service for CS and STEM majors in the DMV region, I strive to build a platform that bridges the gap between college and real-world applications.

Currently, I am preparing for my CompTIA Security+ certification. My technical expertise includes AI/ML development, UI/UX design, and software engineering, complemented by a deep interest in creating explainable, ethical, and impactful technological solutions.

My dream job involves doing what AI cannot — that is provide context, judgement, and ethical leadership.

Always eager to connect with professionals, collaborators, and innovators who share a vision for responsible technological advancement.

I’m Connor Wadlin, a Cybersecurity specialist with a keen eye on the world around me! As an Engineer, my focus is on improving the lives of everyone, not just the rich and powerful.

At onAir, I am the Hub Coordinator for Cybersecurity. That means I do a little bit of everything, from curating posts, hosting my own onAircast series titled “Cybersecurity @GMU”, and helping others do the same. My focus is on providing the BEST platform for people to learn, discuss, and engage around Cybersecurity so that we can ALL live happier, safer, and more fulfilling lives together!

I’m happy you’re here, so thank you for taking some time out of your day to learn 🙂
