> About Me

I'm an Information Security & Hybrid Cloud Infrastructure Expert with extensive experience in designing, implementing, and securing multi-cloud environments. My expertise spans across Alibaba Cloud, AWS, and Azure, with a strong focus on compliance frameworks including ISO 27001, NCA ECC, and PDPL/GDPR.

Currently leading infrastructure and security initiatives at Cruise Saudi / Aroya, where I've architected hybrid cloud solutions serving 300,000+ passengers and implemented the region's first sea-line reservation system. Passionate about Zero Trust architecture and automating security through Infrastructure as Code.
