What I'm looking for

I seek technical roles in cybersecurity or AI-security that offer hands-on work, cross-functional collaboration, mentorship, and opportunities to apply ML to real-world security problems.

I am a senior Information Security student with hands-on experience in cybersecurity, programming, and AI-driven projects. I combine technical skills with a strong academic foundation from United Arab Emirates University (2021–2025) to solve practical security challenges.

I completed a cybersecurity traineeship at TAQA Distribution Company and have worked on cross-functional projects that integrate security and artificial intelligence, including machine learning applications and database management.

My achievements include contributing to research and projects such as gaze-tracking with TOBII glasses, sustainability-focused prediction work recognized by the Sharjah Sustainability Award, and completing cybersecurity training through IBM SkillsBuild.

I am a fast learner, detail-oriented team member with strong communication and leadership abilities, seeking to apply my skills in network security, vulnerability assessment, and AI-enhanced security solutions.
