What I'm looking for

I'm seeking an entry-level opportunity in cybersecurity to apply and further develop my technical and security skills.

At XPAND CS Academy (MCS), I graduated from the SOC Training Program in collaboration with ITI with an overall score of 95.6%. I practiced alert triage, incident investigation, and threat hunting using security tools including Exabeam, Trend Micro, Kaspersky, and Palo Alto.

My computer engineering studies at the British university in Egypt (BUE) and London SouthBank University included an A+ graduation project: an Ethereum-based drug traceability system designed to enhance supply chain transparency and security.

For my A+ Architectural Design Project, I built a multi-factor access control system using NFC, facial recognition, fingerprint, and keypad authentication with secure real-time processing. I'm seeking an entry-level opportunity in cybersecurity where I can apply and further develop my technical and security skills.
