What I'm looking for

I’m open to relocation/remote and want an entry-level network/cybersecurity role where I can use FortiGate, XDR/NDR/EDR, and AWS security work to improve detection, harden access, and support real incident investigations.

I’m a Bachelor in Cyber Security student at Birzeit University (graduating June 2026) with a strong focus on network security, secure access control, and hands-on threat detection. I’ve combined real lab work with formal training to sharpen how I secure systems and investigate suspicious activity.

In my On-site Network Security Intern role at OneTec Solutions, I deployed and managed Windows Server DC user and group policies, configured FortiGate firewalls for secure access, and explored Symantec Data Loss Prevention (DLP). I also applied XDR, NDR, and EDR tools for threat detection and response.

Now, as Educational Team Head for the AWS Cloud Club at Birzeit University, I coordinate training initiatives and help members build practical cloud computing skills, including UEBA insider threat security concepts. I’m certified across key areas like Fortinet and Google Cybersecurity, and I’m motivated to apply the “principle of least privilege” to detect insider threats that traditional tools may miss.
