About Me
I'm Rayan Alrashed, a Saudi Arabian Computer Science student specializing in cybersecurity, currently in my first year at Imam Mohammed Bin Saud Islamic University, where I continue to build my foundation in programming & security concepts. I'm interested in cybersecurity and understanding how systems work, how they can be exploited, and how they can be secured. My technical background includes programming, networking, and cybersecurity, which I've developed through hands-on projects and practical training.
Throughout my journey, I've pursued professional certifications including Google's Professional Cybersecurity Certificate, while further developing my skills through specialized penetration testing training. I completed a 120-hour Penetration Testing Bootcamp at Tuwaiq Academy, where I studied different attack methodologies, web attacks, and exploitation, and finished 1st in the final examination.
