I'm a Computer Science student with a clear focus: becoming a well-rounded SOC Analyst who understands why things work — not just how to run tools.
My approach to security is structured and layered. I care deeply about networking fundamentals, OS internals, and understanding how real enterprise security architectures are designed and defended.
- 🎓 B.Sc. Computer Science, Imam Abdulrahman Bin Faisal University (IAU) — Expected June 2026
- 🛡️ Cybersecurity Co-op Trainee at Tahakom — rotated through SOC, InfoSec, and Threat Intelligence units
- 🔵 Blue Team focused — detection engineering, log analysis, and threat hunting over MITRE ATT&CK
- 🌐 Strong networking foundation — routing, NAT, AS, Active Directory, Windows Registry, VM networking
- 🧱 Built a complete SOC Simulation Lab integrating pfSense, Suricata, Elastic SIEM, Sysmon, and MISP
- 🏗️ Interested in how security companies design their architectures — understanding the "why" behind enterprise security decisions
- 🔬 Graduation Project: SADN — 7-service microservices system for data governance & privacy compliance (PDPL, NDMO, NCA)
- 💬 Philosophy: Understand the system before you defend it. Understand the attack before you detect it.

I don't just collect tools — I build mental models.
Phase 1: Understand the environment → OS, Network, AD, Registry
Phase 2: Understand the attack → TTPs, Kill Chain, ATT&CK
Phase 3: Understand the detection → Logs, SIEM, Use Cases
Phase 4: Understand the response → Triage, Containment, Forensics
Phase 5: Understand the architecture → How real SOCs are designed & why
I ask questions like:
- "Who sends the request — and who should be sending it?"
- "What does normal look like on this network?"
- "How would an attacker blend in here?"
That's the analyst mindset I'm building.
Security Tools: Elastic SIEM · Sysmon · MISP · Suricata · pfSense · MITRE ATT&CK
Systems Knowledge: Active Directory · Windows Registry · Networking (Routing, NAT, AS) · VM Networking
Dev Stack: Python · PostgreSQL · Docker · RabbitMQ · MinIO · Microservices Architecture · Flutter
| Project | Description |
|---|---|
| 🧱 SOC Simulation Lab | Enterprise-grade SOC environment with pfSense, Suricata, Elastic Stack, Sysmon, and MISP. Built to simulate real attacks, collect telemetry, and validate detection use cases end-to-end. |
| 🔐 SADN — Data Governance & Privacy System | Graduation project: 7-service microservices architecture enforcing data privacy compliance under Saudi regulations (PDPL, NDMO, NCA). Led the Validation Service — data classification and privacy metric calculation (k-anonymity, l-diversity, t-closeness). |
| 🔍 Phishing Email Detection Website | Web platform (Python + PostgreSQL + HTML/CSS/JS) that classifies phishing emails using ML-driven text analysis and visual inspection. |
| ⚙️ Industrial Cybersecurity Research | Explored OT/ICS vulnerabilities, network segmentation, and MITRE ATT&CK for ICS — SCADA, PLC, and Modbus TCP protocol analysis. |
I'm not just learning cybersecurity — I'm building a way of thinking.
Strong foundations in networking and OS internals. A structured, phase-by-phase approach to security. A genuine curiosity for how enterprise security organizations are architected and why decisions are made the way they are.
My goal isn't to be someone who runs scans. It's to be someone who understands the environment, detects the threat, and knows exactly why it matters.
Always building. Always thinking. ⚡
