What I'm looking for

I'm seeking a Cooperative Learning Placement where I can apply practical cybersecurity skills in network security, incident detection, security monitoring, and automated incident response in a professional environment.

I'm a cybersecurity student at Bahrain Polytechnic and a National Finalist in the 2024 Huawei ICT Competition Network Track.

I built and operate a home SOC lab with Wazuh, pfSense, and Shuffle, automating incident-response workflows and simulating real-world attack detection.

I integrated VirusTotal, AbuseIPDB, and AlienVault OTX for automated IoC enrichment, and explored Splunk for log ingestion and search fundamentals.

I also design enterprise network security environments using OSPF, VLANs, NAT, ACLs, firewalls, IDS, Wireshark, and Nmap, while pursuing CCNA certification and seeking a Cooperative Learning Placement.
