About

Curious mind. Steady hands. Focused on turning cybersecurity knowledge into real-world protection.

I am an enthusiastic Cloud Cybersecurity learner at Al Nafi International College, pursuing the EduQual RQF Level 3 Diploma in Information Security. For me, cybersecurity is more than theory — I enjoy turning technical knowledge into real-world defense, from setting up Linux RHEL environments and performing vulnerability scanning to identifying threats through Elastic Stack and Kibana.

My hands-on experience includes SOC operations, SIEM development, network and web application pentesting, and incident response. I have worked extensively with Linux RHEL administration, including RHCSA-level system hardening, configuration, and automation. I’ve also practiced ISO 27001 lead auditing, with additional exposure to PCI DSS and NIST 800-82 compliance frameworks.

In addition, I have completed CISSP foundation, Ethical Hacking, and Incident Response training — sharpening my analytical mindset for security monitoring and proactive defense.

I’m eager to pursue a career in SOC Operations, where I can watch, detect, and respond to live security incidents — gaining deeper experience in threat analysis, log correlation, and remediation strategies while contributing to building secure infrastructures.

Alongside SOC Operations, I’m also interested in ISO 27001 and cybersecurity standards auditing, as I value the balance between technical defense and compliance assurance.

I’m currently open to remote jobs and entry-level positions in SOC Operations, where I can learn, grow, and contribute to strengthening cybersecurity defenses.
