I have honed my skills through various roles, including my current position as a Cyber Security Awareness Specialist at Zinad IT, where I create engaging content and conduct workshops to promote security best practices.

Previously, I served as a SOC Analyst at CIB Bank, where I developed threat intelligence reports and monitored security incidents. My technical expertise includes working with SIEM tools, analyzing log files, and ensuring compliance with security protocols. I am passionate about continuous learning and have pursued certifications such as CCNA and Tripwire Enterprise Foundation, which have further solidified my knowledge in network security and incident response.
