What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that offers opportunities for growth and collaboration in a dynamic environment.

I am a motivated and detail-oriented Cybersecurity Engineer with a strong foundation in Python scripting, Linux systems, and cybersecurity protocols. My experience includes working as a SOC Analyst, where I honed my skills in identifying, analyzing, and mitigating security threats. I have a solid understanding of SIEM tools, intrusion detection systems, and vulnerability management, which allows me to effectively communicate security issues and resolutions to management and stakeholders.

Currently, I am working as a Cybersecurity Engineer in Doha, Qatar, where I regularly perform vulnerability assessments and penetration tests to address security weaknesses. My technical proficiency includes Python, Linux (Ubuntu, CentOS), and various cybersecurity tools such as Splunk and Snort. I am passionate about combining my technical expertise with business management knowledge to enhance organizational security posture and ensure compliance with best practices.
