About Me#

Hi, I’m Ahmed El-Ganainy 👋.
I’ve always been curious about how systems work — and what happens when they don’t. That curiosity led me into cybersecurity, where I spend my time exploring apps, networks, and cloud systems to find hidden risks and help make them safer.

When I’m not testing systems, I enjoy building labs, learning new tools, and sharing what I know with the community.

What I Do#

  • I break things (ethically) 🕵️‍♂️ — web apps, mobile apps, networks, and even Active Directory setups.
  • I fix things 🔧 — working closely with developers to explain vulnerabilities and guide secure coding practices.
  • I build things ⚡ — custom scripts, labs, and methodologies that make pentesting more efficient and repeatable.

Along the way, I’ve had the chance to work with banks, enterprises, and government organizations across the region, performing red teaming, secure code reviews, and cloud security assessments.
