What I'm looking for

I am seeking a dynamic role in cybersecurity that fosters growth and innovation.

I am a dedicated Cybersecurity Technical Specialist with a strong academic background in Computer & Communication Engineering from the American University of Beirut, where I achieved a GPA of 3.78 and was consistently placed on the Dean’s Honor List. My professional journey began with hands-on experience in cybersecurity, where I spearheaded ISO 27001 certification efforts at Exceed IT Service, significantly enhancing the organization's security posture. I have designed and implemented observability and security monitoring systems, showcasing my ability to analyze performance metrics effectively.

My internships at Touch Lebanon provided me with invaluable exposure to network performance and service quality, where I explored wireless technologies and analyzed network KPIs. As an SOC Analyst intern, I honed my skills in threat hunting and log management, identifying and mitigating potential vulnerabilities. My technical skills span various programming languages and cybersecurity tools, including C++, Python, and SQL, as well as proficiency in machine learning techniques. I am passionate about leveraging my knowledge to contribute to innovative cybersecurity solutions.
