About

I’m a Senior Back Office IP Security & Backbone Engineer at Ericsson, supporting Telecom Egypt in protecting and optimizing one of the nation’s most critical network infrastructures. My role blends deep technical expertise with strategic security operations to ensure reliability, scalability, and resilience across complex telecom environments. With hands-on experience moving from Network Security Implementation to Network Security Operations, I’ve developed a full-lifecycle understanding of how secure infrastructures are built, maintained, and continuously improved. I’m proficient in Fortinet, Palo Alto, Juniper, and F5 technologies, with strong capabilities in VPN, IPsec, SSL, and SIEM integration—enabling visibility, automation, and compliance across diverse network layers. As a senior engineer, I’m driven by a mission to enhance operational efficiency, harden backbone security, and align technical delivery with long-term strategic goals.
