About me

A well-rounded, security-minded engineer

I combine a solid computer-science foundation with real-world experience in customer support and leadership.

I'm a Computer Science graduate from Colorado State University, concentrating in Networks and Security. My coursework and projects have covered the full stack of modern computing — programming in C++, Java, Python, JavaScript, and C; building servers and networks from scratch; packet analysis with Wireshark; firewall construction; ethical hacking; and encryption.

Beyond the technical side, I've led teams and served customers for years — as President of the Omani Student Association at CSU and in bookstore and dining-services roles. I'm flexible, self-motivated, and genuinely enjoy solving problems end-to-end.
