About.

I'm a cybersecurity fresh graduate with hands-on experience in security monitoring, network defense, and information security auditing.

My recent chapter includes a Cybersecurity Specialist co-op at King Fahad Medical City (KFMC), where I worked across SOC operations — real-time threat detection, log analysis, incident response, and endpoint protection across hospital infrastructure.

Outside the co-op, I build lab environments: a honeypot + SIEM pipeline for my capstone, offensive security exercises on TryHackMe and HackTheBox, and certifications from Cisco, SDAIA, and Tuwaiq Academy.

I'm aiming for SOC Analyst, Threat Hunter, or Security Audit roles — with a particular interest in the intersection of detection engineering and the Saudi regulatory landscape (NCA ECC, SAMA).
