What I'm looking for

I’m looking to use my cloud security foundation in AWS and Azure to help strengthen cyber resilience and scale secure infrastructures in an innovative organization.

I work on cybersecurity through an internship at Fagas Startup Company, where I’ve run vulnerability assessments across Linux and Windows and helped harden defenses through firewall configuration, port scanning, and endpoint security measures.

I also support cloud security work on AWS, and I’ve participated in simulated incident response scenarios—doing log analysis and threat hunting with open-source security tools.

Alongside that, I built GetSecured, a responsive cybersecurity landing page with dynamic features and a simulated real-time threat feed, and I’ve engineered security utilities like a multi-threaded port & vulnerability scanner and a Python password strength evaluator.
