I'm Salah, a Computer Engineering student specializing in Systems & Networks Engineering, with a strong interest in cybersecurity, infrastructure, cloud technologies and secure system architecture.
My focus is on understanding how complete systems work, how they communicate, and how they can be protected.
I am a Computer Engineering student currently completing my Bachelor of Engineering, specializing in Systems and Networks Engineering.
My interests sit at the intersection of cybersecurity, networking, Linux systems, infrastructure, cloud computing and secure architecture.
I enjoy working on projects where the challenge is not only to build an application, but to understand the infrastructure behind it and make the entire system reliable and secure.
Computer Engineering
Systems & Networks
Cybersecurity Focus
Always Learning
Technologies and concepts I've worked with through university projects, labs and practical experimentation.
Operating systems, Linux administration, processes, scheduling, virtualization and system-level programming.
Security analysis, network security, threat modeling, malware concepts, authentication, encryption and defensive security.
Network architecture, routing, firewalls, VLANs, VPNs, DNS, DHCP and infrastructure troubleshooting.
Cloud-based architectures, data pipelines, Azure services, machine learning workflows and cloud application infrastructure.
Containerized environments, virtualization, Kubernetes concepts, replication, backups and resilient architectures.
Software development for system-oriented projects, APIs, dashboards, automation and security experiments.
A selection of academic, systems and cybersecurity projects I've worked on.
A cloud-based intelligent traffic monitoring and prediction system that processes vehicle telemetry and predicts whether a road zone will become congested within the next 10 minutes.
A final-year Computer Engineering project focused on designing a secure and resilient emergency response platform connecting emergency reports with ambulance and EMS services.
A controlled cybersecurity laboratory demonstrating malware behavior simulation and machine-learning-based classification. The environment focuses on defensive analysis rather than real malware deployment.
A virtualized networking environment used to experiment with firewalls, routing, VLANs, authentication, Linux servers, Active Directory, mail infrastructure and VPN connectivity.
System programming experiments involving process creation, parent-child relationships, scheduling policies and Linux kernel concepts.
A low-level Linux kernel programming exercise demonstrating module initialization, cleanup, kernel logging and Makefile-based compilation.
Building practical experience alongside my engineering studies.
Working in a telecommunications and technology environment while developing practical experience with IT systems, networking, infrastructure and technical operations.
Gained exposure to cybersecurity operations, security analysis and the practical challenges involved in protecting organizational systems.
Developed projects and laboratory environments covering operating systems, networking, cloud computing, cybersecurity, machine learning and infrastructure.
Currently completing my final year of Computer Engineering studies, with a particular focus on systems, networks, cybersecurity, cloud infrastructure and secure architecture.
I believe security should be considered from the architecture stage rather than added after a system is already built.
That's why my projects combine software with infrastructure, networking, authentication, encryption, resilience and monitoring.
