Who I Am

I'm a final-year cybersecurity engineering student with a dual-school track across Tunisia (ESPRIT) and France (ESEO), specializing in NIDS and Cloud/Security/Systems.

My work spans threat intelligence platforms, SOC automation, SIEM/SOAR integration, and offensive security assessments. I thrive at the intersection of hands-on technical work and strategic security thinking.

Currently seeking a 6-month final-year internship in cybersecurity consulting from February 2026, focused on risk management and security transformation projects.
