Aspiring network security engineer with hands-on cybersecurity experience.
What I'm looking for
I am a senior student at Helwan University, pursuing a Bachelor's degree in Communications and Electronics Engineering. My academic journey has equipped me with a solid foundation in network security, complemented by hands-on experience through internships and projects. I have developed a deep understanding of various security technologies, including CCNA, MCSA, and CCNP Security, which I have applied in real-world scenarios.
During my internships at ITI and DEPI, NTI, I gained practical skills in network design, configuration, and security implementation. I successfully configured and managed firewalls, intrusion detection systems, and VPNs, enhancing the security posture of enterprise networks. My graduation project involved developing an advanced SDN firewall and load balancer, showcasing my ability to integrate machine learning for threat detection and prevention.
With strong technical skills in routing, switching, and network security technologies, I am eager to contribute to a dynamic team focused on innovative cybersecurity solutions. I thrive in collaborative environments and am committed to continuous learning and professional growth in the field of network security.
