I build, secure, and govern systems.

Hi, I'm .

Part security, part software,
everything in between.

I'm a privacy and GRC engineer from Jordan. I build security tools, work with local AI, and usually have a Linux terminal open.

A few things I've built.

All work →
Graduation research

TamperLog

My graduation project: a prototype for detecting changes to audit logs.

Research prototype; not a production security guarantee.

CryptographyPythonFlask
Hackathon prototype

GRC AI

I led a team building a local-AI prototype for reviewing policies against compliance frameworks.

Hackathon prototype; national top five. AI output still needs human review.
