Who I Am

I'm Ahmed Bakhadher, a junior cybersecurity analyst and cloud security engineer based in Belgium, with a strong passion for network security, ethical hacking, and secure system design.

I bring real-world professional experience from my role as System Administrator, where I managed Power Apps, Power Automate and SharePoint solutions, aligned internal controls with security frameworks, and handled hardware, software and network installation and troubleshooting.

Over the past year I have earned 9 certifications — Cisco Networking Academy (From Networking Basics until CyberOps Associate), the Google Cloud Cybersecurity Certificate, and most recently the ISC2 Certified in Cybersecurity (CC). Beyond certifications, I've built hands-on projects including a cloud-native SOC on Microsoft Azure with a live honeypot, an External Attack Surface Management assessment, and SQL injection analysis via Wireshark. I'm actively seeking my next role in cybersecurity or cloud security.

Ik ben Ahmed Bakhadher, een junior cybersecurity analist en cloud security engineer in België, met een sterke passie voor netwerkbeveiliging, ethical hacking en veilig systeemontwerp.

Ik beschik over echte werkervaring als System Administrator, waar ik oplossingen beheerde in Power Apps, Power Automate en SharePoint, interne controles aligneerde met beveiligingsframeworks en hardware, software en netwerken installeerde en troubleshootle.

Het afgelopen jaar heb ik 9 certificaten behaald van Cisco Networking Academy tot het Google Cloud Cybersecurity Certificate en de ISC2 Certified in Cybersecurity (CC). Daarnaast bouwde ik praktijkprojecten zoals een cloud-native SOC op Microsoft Azure met een live honeypot, een External Attack Surface Management assessment en SQL-injectie analyse via Wireshark. Ik ben actief op zoek naar mijn volgende functie in cybersecurity of cloud security.
