Hello everyone,

My name is Amine, and I’m currently a cybersecurity engineering student based in Casablanca, Morocco.

During my first two years of study, I focused on foundational fields like system administration and networking, which helped me build a strong technical base. I have a growing interest in Red Hat technologies and the open source ecosystem, and I’ve been enhancing my skills through courses in the Red Hat Academy.

My goal is to become a skilled cybersecurity professional who can contribute effectively to securing IT environments and promoting open source solutions. Looking forward to connecting and learning with you all!
