What I'm looking for

I'm seeking a Cybersecurity Specialist role where I can apply red team operations and penetration testing to secure systems, improve cyber resilience, and support a university's mission.

I founded Cygent to develop network and system defense solutions, including WAF and CAASM platforms for threat prevention, asset visibility, and attack surface management. I also founded Cyber Agency, where I deliver cybersecurity training and consulting across red teaming, blue teaming, penetration testing, and incident response.

At DeepSafer Yemen, I lead and execute adversary simulations, enterprise penetration tests, and multi-phase offensive security campaigns aligned with MITRE ATT&CK. I work with blue teams to strengthen detection engineering, SOC maturity, incident response, and cyber resilience.

My work also includes malware analysis, reverse engineering, digital forensics, threat intelligence, custom C2 frameworks, payload development, and security automation. I build hands-on training environments that connect real-world attack simulation with practical defensive operations.

Alongside my professional work, I founded the Cyber Security Pioneers Club at Al-Razi University and deliver cybersecurity training, workshops, and public security-awareness sessions.
