About Me

Building security awareness into systems, networks, and code.

I am a cybersecurity undergraduate at Alexandria National University with hands-on training across network security, Fortinet firewall concepts, security operations, web application security, cryptography, GRC, and secure infrastructure configuration.

My practical work includes traffic monitoring, ACLs, AAA, VPNs, secure authentication, vulnerability testing, incident response, and risk and compliance frameworks. I enjoy translating security requirements into systems that are practical, maintainable, and resilient under real use.
