About
Background & Expertise
I'm a network and systems security engineer based in Amman, Jordan. I graduated with a BSc in Electrical Engineering (Network & Systems Security) from Al-Balqa Applied University in February 2026 with a GPA of 3.24/4.00.
My focus spans enterprise network design and security, cloud infrastructure on Microsoft Azure, SIEM-based threat detection with Splunk, and ITSM platform implementation. I build and test configurations in GNS3 and Cisco Packet Tracer — everything from basic switching to full IPSec VPN deployments.
Currently working as an ITSM Consultant at DIMA Solutions implementing OpenText SMAX aligned with ITIL practices, while volunteering with the IEEE Computer Society's Member Development team.
