I work in cybersecurity for a government authority in Abu Dhabi — offensive security, infrastructure delivery, and now AI. Started with pentesting and forensics. Moved into managing and shipping security systems. Currently leading the technical side of an AI Transformation initiative, building on-premise AI systems and running the Technical AI Team. Security comes first in everything I build.
