About

I’m Mohamed, a Computer Science student at Carleton University specializing in cybersecurity. I enjoy building fast, accessible web tools and thinking about security from first principles. I’m fluent in English and Arabic, conversational in German, and I spent over a decade training in karate—discipline I now bring to engineering.
