Information Security Specialist @ Kingdom of Morocco 🇲🇦

About

I thrive on connecting the dots between technical defense (SOC, SIEM, threat detection) and strategic security leadership (risk management, compliance, frameworks like LOI09-08 & ISO 27001). My mission: to bridge security operations with business outcomes and eventually grow into a CISO role, where I can lead organizations in protecting what matters most. Currently building hands-on skills through: -SOC Analyst path (Splunk, SIEM, Incident Response) -Some Career Goals : $CISM → CISSP $More projects in CI/CD pipeline security & policy-as-code $Becoming a CISO My background in the Navy has given me discipline, leadership under pressure, and a strong sense of responsibility qualities I now channel into cybersecurity. Always open to connecting with fellow professionals, sharing insights, and collaborating on projects that make security smarter and more resilient.

I was tasked with developing the embedded software for my project on "Visual Odometry as a safety navigation and mapping system", diving into the challenges of low-level programming, hardware interfacing, and real-time systems. Seeing my code run on actual hardware was incredibly rewarding. Parallel to my technical project, I had the privilege of mentoring the Academy's cadets. Guiding them through technical challenges and explaining complex concepts not only solidified my own knowledge but also taught me the importance of clear communication and patience
