What I'm looking for

I’m looking for an environment where I can grow fast in penetration testing and security monitoring, work with real systems, and contribute to risk reduction through practical automation and DevSecOps—supported by strong mentorship and clear SLAs.

I’m a cybersecurity professional in training with a strong interest in penetration testing and risk assessment. I’m committed to continuous learning and applying industry best practices to identify vulnerabilities and improve organizational security.

In my freelance work and systems experience, I’ve supported clients through end-to-end project lifecycles—requirement gathering, development, deployment, and user support. I consistently deliver solutions with attention to performance, security, and usability, often taking responsibility for server setup and maintenance, backups, and access reliability.

My security internship work strengthened my applied workflow with tools like Wazuh and Kibana for monitoring and analysis of security alerts, firewall logs, and suspicious network activity. I also supported vulnerability scanning with Nessus and escalated confirmed incidents to senior analysts.

For real-world defense and offensive emulation, my projects include pfSense firewall and VPN configuration (IPsec/SSL) with secure segmentation, plus a Graduation Project (PFE) where I architected a Visual Adversary Emulation Platform for Kubernetes. I integrate offensive security tooling with modern DevSecOps pipelines to automate cluster vulnerability assessments and continuous compliance checks.
