Passionate About
Security & Code

I'm Marwan Fayad, a BSc Cybersecurity student at South East Technological University in Ireland. I combine a developer's mindset with a security researcher's curiosity — building tools that solve real-world security problems.

My work spans penetration testing frameworks, web application security assessment, and log analysis systems. I believe the best way to defend systems is to understand how they're attacked.

Outside of security, I have a background in game development and graphic design — which gives me a unique perspective on how systems and interfaces are built and can be broken.

I am fluent in both English and Arabic, and I'm always looking for opportunities to contribute to open-source security projects and build practical tooling.
