I· The beginning · Introduction

I live in the space between the rule and the risk.

Jimmy Zghendy
Beirut, LB2026

I'm a Master's student in Cybersecurity & AI at the Lebanese University, with a Bachelor's in Applied Mathematics. I am currently researching for my Master's thesis at BMB in Beirut.

My work sits where defense, automation, and applied AI meet — SOC analysis, pentesting, vulnerability governance, and the quiet engineering that holds systems together when nothing should.

The chapters below describe what I practice, where I've practiced it, what I've built, and what still needs to be built.

II· The practice · Expertise

What I do. Five disciplines, one direction.

The work below describes how I think — not just what I can name on a tools list.

01

SOC Analysis

Threat detection, log triage, and incident response. Reading what a system reports vs. what it actually does, and closing the gap.

02

Pentesting

Offensive testing on Kali Linux — reconnaissance, exploitation, post-exploitation. Finding the door before someone else does.

03

Vulnerability Governance

Mapping vulnerabilities to business risk, prioritizing remediation, and translating CVEs into decisions people can actually act on.

04

Security with AI

Applied machine learning for detection, classification, and automation — Python, FastAPI, Hugging Face, and the Groq API as everyday tools.

05

DevOps Systems

Docker, Linux, Git, deployment pipelines, environment management. The unglamorous infrastructure that keeps the rest of the work honest.

Potech · Lebanon (Remote)

Gained valuable experience in cybersecurity, working on various projects and challenges with strong proficiency in Kali Linux.

  • Developed a system for managing software licenses (demo, renewal, activation, expiration).
  • Tracked license keys, activation statuses, expiration dates.
  • Built dashboard with filters to manage licenses, clients, statuses.
  • Developed a phishing simulation tool using PHP and phpMyAdmin, deployed on 000webhost.
  • Improved reporting, stock control, and usability.

IV· The proof · Education

Education, not as decoration.

Each entry is here because it shaped the way I work, not because it fills a line.

V· The credentials · Certifications

What I've trained for.

Short, deliberate programs that gave me leverage outside the degree.

01

Introduction to Networks

Cisco Networking Academy

Foundations of networking — OSI, TCP/IP, routing, switching. The vocabulary every defender starts from.

02

Offensive Cybersecurity Bootcamp

Hands-on training

Practical offensive techniques: reconnaissance, exploitation, post-exploitation, reporting. Built on Kali Linux.

03

Python for Data Science, AI & Development

IBM / Coursera

Applied Python for data work, model building, and production code — the bridge between research notebooks and shipped tools.

VI· The craft · Projects

Things I have actually built.

Four projects, shipped publicly. The fingerprints of practice.
