I am a certified Cybersecurity Engineer with practical experience in network security, penetration testing, and secure network design.
I hold the Google Professional Cybersecurity Certificate (Coursera) and the IBM Ethical Hacking training (Coursera), and I am an ISC² candidate. I have also completed HCIA and HCIP training and participated in official training programs run by the Egyptian Ministry of Communications & Information Technology and Huawei ICT Academy.
I combine formal certification with hands-on experience, including a one-month pentester internship at Instant and practical Huawei network planning and implementation projects. My background enables me to bridge secure network architecture and offensive security, delivering both defensive controls and actionable vulnerability assessments.
