I work at the intersection of cybersecurity, software development, and automation. I identify vulnerabilities, build internal tools used company-wide, and develop open-source security software, from forensic command-line tools to live network monitoring systems. When I’m away from the terminal, I’m usually photographing architecture or exploring somewhere new.

Open to cybersecurity, R&D, and full-stack roles, remote or based in Amman.

Overview

R&D leadership, security analysis, full-stack work, and photography.

I'm a cybersecurity graduate and R&D Acting Team Lead at Detroit Axle, where I build secure internal tools and automate the audits behind day-to-day operations. I lead development of FAST, a company-wide platform whose automated FedEx billing audits cover roughly 5 million records and save more than $20K per week. At the National Cyber Security Center of Jordan I worked on penetration testing and blue-team defense, and I hold ISC2 CC, Fortinet FCF, and Security Blue Team BTJA certifications. Beyond that, I built The Zero Day, a live vulnerability-intelligence platform, maintain the open-source security tools Caeruleum, Vigil, and Aurum, and deliver full-stack systems for clients in Jordan. I also photograph travel and architecture, including a body of work from Shanghai.
