Back home after my Chevening year, I brought everything I learned to my students. I designed a brand new course — Special Topics in Cybersecurity — from scratch, got it ABET-accredited, and taught it alongside networks and computer architecture to over 700 undergraduates. I also founded the NCPC competitive programming community and helped students land internships in the UK and UAE.

Continued my research collaboration with Dr. Hany Atlam at Warwick, focusing on network vulnerabilities and defence mechanisms. I designed a full enterprise network architecture using VLANs, firewalls, and ACLs, and delivered hands-on sessions to 170+ MSc students using Cisco Packet Tracer.

One of the most exciting experiences of my career. I assisted at a specialist bootcamp on securing frontier AI systems — covering threat modelling, adversarial attacks, LLM security, and AI control. The participants were brilliant technical researchers, and the red/blue team exercises were intense.

While studying for my MSc at Warwick, I was also teaching cybersecurity at UCB — project planning, programming, and digital forensics to second-year students. Designing the materials and watching students grow is genuinely one of the best parts of this work.

My first industry role — building an iOS app in Swift with UIKit. I worked in an Agile team using JIRA, contributed to UI/UX design in Figma, and helped push a 50% increase in app users through feature improvements. A fast-paced, real-world taste of product development.

Selected from 150+ students via the Erasmus+ scholarship to intern at one of France's leading research labs. I extended the CADNA library for gamma-ray detection experiments and built C++ software to control scientific measurement hardware. A deep dive into computational physics and precision engineering.
