Who I Am

Hi, I'm Bilal Touati โ€” a Cybersecurity student focused on developing strong foundations in networking, Linux systems, infrastructure, and cybersecurity.

I'm currently studying Cybersecurity at OFPPT, where I'm developing practical knowledge in computer networks, systems, virtualization, security concepts, and IT infrastructure.

My main technical interests include Linux, networking, virtualization, scripting, PowerShell, CMD, system administration, and cybersecurity.

I also use modern AI-assisted development tools such as Claude Code to build and experiment with personal projects. Web development is a supporting technical skill for my projects, but it is not my main career specialization.

My goal is to continuously improve my technical skills through hands-on practice, labs, personal projects, and cybersecurity challenges, while building a strong foundation for a future career in Cybersecurity.
