I strengthen network security through penetration testing, GRC, and secure infrastructure practices.
What I'm looking for
I've supported cybersecurity work at KEYSTONE Group, DefensyLab, and STEG Tunisie, spanning offensive security, AI governance, penetration-testing reporting, and SCADA/OT systems security.
I'm a Computer Engineering student at ENICarthage and Cisco CCNA certified. I use hands-on practice with Kali Linux, Burp Suite, Hack The Box, TryHackMe, and RootMe to build skills in network defense, vulnerability analysis, and secure infrastructure protection.
Experience
Work history, roles, and key accomplishments
Worked as Cybersecurity GRC (AI Governance) at KEYSTONE Group.
Worked as Campus Ambassador at Hackviser.
Researched international penetration testing standards and reporting best practices (PTES, NIST SP 800-115).
Improved the penetration testing reporting process by designing standardized report templates and executive summaries.
Enhanced vulnerability prioritization using CVSS and EPSS methodologies.
Worked with SysReptor and Exegol to streamline report generation and documentation.
Worked as HR Manager at CPC Enicarthage.
During my summer internship at the Regional Control Center (CRC) of STEG, I gained hands-on experience in SCADA systems, transmission infrastructures (CPL, PDH, SDH, fiber optic networks), and practical tasks like fiber splicing and RJ45 cable fabrication. I also observed load management strategies during high-demand days, and visited the Ghannouch combined-cycle power plant and the Bouchemma gas
Gained hands-on experience in cybersecurity through HackTheBox, TryHackMe, and RootMe. Conducted security testing on simulated environments using Burp Suite and Kali Linux. Developed an educational keylogger generating automated PDF reports, strengthening skills in reconnaissance and vulnerability exploitation.
