What I'm looking for

I'm seeking a penetration testing role where I can apply hands-on web, Active Directory, and network testing, deliver clear stakeholder-ready reports, and continue growing through real-world engagements and CPTS study.

I've built hands-on offensive security experience through Hack The Box, reaching Pro Hacker rank and compromising 250+ simulated web, Active Directory, Windows, and Linux targets.

Across the Dante, Zephyr, and POO Pro Labs, I've performed full-scope corporate-network compromise, lateral movement, pivoting, tunneling, credential abuse, and advanced Active Directory attack paths.

I'm also an active HackerOne vulnerability researcher, where I identified and responsibly disclosed an IDOR vulnerability. I produce penetration-test reports with executive summaries, technical findings, evidence chains, and remediation guidance.

After 18+ years leading luxury-hospitality operations across Egypt and the UAE, I bring executive reporting, incident escalation, confidentiality, stakeholder communication, and structured delivery to penetration-testing engagements while pursuing CPTS.
