What I'm looking for

I’m seeking a Security Analyst or Penetration Testing role in a collaborative, growth-oriented team where I can leverage my expertise in SOC monitoring, vulnerability assessment, ethical hacking, and incident response, along with my hands-on experience in securing Fortinet SD-WAN environments to strengthen organizational defenses while advancing my technical skills.

I am a cybersecurity engineer with an engineering degree from the International University of Rabat and hands-on experience in secure SD‑WAN deployment, SOC monitoring, and incident response. I hold Fortinet NSE 4 and other industry certifications including CompTIA Security+ and Google Cybersecurity.

During an internship I designed and deployed a secure SD‑WAN architecture using FortiGate and FortiManager, implementing DIA, IPsec VPNs, BGP routing, ADVPN and centralized monitoring with SLA metrics. I conducted penetration testing on Android applications, built a Raspberry Pi drone wireless testing platform for real-world Wi‑Fi assessments, and produced technical reports aligned to OWASP MASVS and MITRE ATT&CK. I am proficient with SIEMs (Splunk, FortiAnalyzer), Wireshark, Burp Suite, Nmap, Nessus and Metasploit.

I am motivated, adaptable, available immediately, and seeking operational or R&D cybersecurity roles where I can apply practical network security and offensive testing skills while contributing to a dynamic security team.
