My journey has taken me through various sectors, including gas, construction, industrial, petrochemical, advertising, and healthcare. I hold a B.Sc. in Computer Science and have acquired multiple certifications that enhance my expertise in IT service management.

Currently, I lead cybersecurity projects at Quantum Technology, focusing on strengthening organizational security. My previous roles include network security analyst and network security engineer, where I was responsible for securing networks and managing endpoint protection. I have successfully implemented security policies and ensured compliance with standards such as ISO 27001 and NIST.
