Junior Red Teamer specializing in offensive security, web pentesting, and network defense.
TunisiaWhat I'm looking for
I am a Junior Red Teamer and cybersecurity engineer with formal education in Network Security and ongoing Engineering studies in Security of Computer Systems and Networks. I combine hands‑on offensive skills—web application pentesting, binary exploitation, reverse engineering—with defensive knowledge in SIEM, IDS/IPS, and threat intelligence.
My practical experience includes internships where I performed manual penetration testing, identified OWASP Top 10 vulnerabilities, and contributed to a final‑year project (OffensyLAB) building a centralized GRC platform using Node.js, MySQL, Docker, and RESTful APIs. I actively participate in CTFs and HTB challenges to sharpen exploitation and reverse‑engineering capabilities.
I bring strong networking fundamentals, familiarity with tools such as Burp Suite, SQLMap, ffuf, XSStrike, Ghidra and x64dbg, and a dedication to continuous learning—currently preparing for eWPT and holding CCNA 1—so I can deliver measurable security improvements for organizations.
