I'm a Dubai-based security engineer working in identity and access management and privileged access management.
My background spans software development, quality assurance and test automation as well as IAM/PAM. That mix shapes how I work: I like understanding how a system really behaves, testing carefully and troubleshooting step by step.
I enjoy solving technical problems and learning new technologies. Away from work, I make music and build small interactive experiences.
