About Me

I am a fifth-year cybersecurity student at Université Internationale de Rabat (UIR), Morocco, passionate about offensive security, web application penetration testing, and binary exploitation (Pwn). As a CTF player, I enjoy solving technical challenges that help me strengthen my problem-solving skills and deepen my understanding of security vulnerabilities and exploitation techniques.

I am continuously improving my practical skills through hands-on labs, security research, and CTF challenges. I am currently preparing for the Certified Penetration Testing Specialist (CPTS) certification from Hack The Box.

I am looking for a cybersecurity internship where I can further develop my offensive security skills, contribute to practical security assessments, and learn from real-world engagements in an ethical and professional environment.
