Building resilient systems, hardening networks, and crafting pipelines — with a golden eye for detail.
I build and maintain reliable Linux-based infrastructures with a security-first mindset. I automate deployments, design CI/CD pipelines, and use infrastructure-as-code to make systems reproducible and scalable. I enjoy hardening systems, investigating incidents, and implementing observability so teams can move fast without breaking things.
Focus on cybersecurity, web development and systems programming. Coursework includes algorithms, networks and security fundamentals.
Science stream with Computer Science electives. Participated in coding contests and tech clubs.
Completed Cybersecurity training with AlNafi, focusing on ethical hacking, penetration testing, and system defense. Gained hands-on experience in threat detection, vulnerability assessment, and real-world attack simulations.
Through Cisco Networking Academy, I built a strong foundation in cybersecurity by exploring threat landscapes, attack types, and defense strategies. I learned how to secure endpoints against malware and unauthorized access, while also understanding layered defense, monitoring, and incident response techniques to strengthen systems against evolving cyberattacks.
Practical experience in vulnerability assessments, penetration testing, and red team operations. Skilled in identifying security gaps, simulating real-world attacks, and implementing defense strategies. Worked on system hardening, risk assessment, and incident response to ensure strong and resilient infrastructures.
Hands-on exposure to containerization, orchestration, and CI/CD pipelines. Experienced in securing deployments, managing cloud environments, and implementing automation for scalable and efficient operations. Focused on integrating monitoring and security practices within DevOps workflows.
Proficient in Linux administration and security, including service management, user permissions, and process control. Skilled in Bash scripting, automation, and troubleshooting. Experienced in configuring and securing network services, scheduling with Cron, and applying security best practices across distributions.
Developed skills in Python for automation, data handling, and security scripting. Combined technical knowledge with creativity through editing tools like Canva, Adobe Photoshop, and After Effects. Experienced in designing visual content, animations, and presentations, blending both programming and creative workflows.
Docker containerization with expertise in building, deploying, and managing scalable applications.
Mastered ethical hacking methodologies, tools and techniques to identify vulnerabilities and secure systems.
