About Me
My name is Kamal Hegazi, a second-year CSIT student at the Egypt-Japan University of Science and Technology (E-JUST). I have a deep passion for information technology, cybersecurity, and competitive programming. I enjoy solving complex technical problems and continuously push myself to grow through hands-on learning, collaboration, and competitive environments.
Experience
I currently work as a Security Content Engineer at MetaCTF, where I:
- Design and develop CTF challenges/Labs for various skill levels.
- Create structured learning materials to bridge theoretical knowledge and practical cybersecurity skills.
- Collaborate on projects that simulate real-world security scenarios.
- Participate in community outreach, mentorship, workshops, and tutorials.
Previously, I was a member of Team W4llz for eight months, actively competing in Capture The Flag (CTF) events and writing security content. I participated in international competitions including SekaICTF 2025 and CrewCTF 2025, focusing on:
- Web Exploitation
- Reverse Engineering
- OSINT (Open-Source Intelligence)
Projects & Competitions
As a competitive programmer with Team Mission Semicolon, I strengthened my algorithmic thinking, problem-solving skills, and teamwork under high-pressure conditions. Highlights include:
- Team qualification for ECPC 2025.
- Contributing to team strategy and collaborative coding.
In cybersecurity, I create detailed technical write-ups explaining attack vectors and defensive mechanisms, helping others learn advanced security concepts clearly and effectively.
Goals & Interests
My long-term goal is to bridge the gap between theoretical knowledge and practical cybersecurity applications. My areas of interest include:
- Ethical Hacking
- System & Network Security
- Cryptography
- Applied Defense Techniques
- CTF Challenge Development
I aspire to contribute to the cybersecurity community through research, technical writing, building secure systems, and designing innovative learning experiences.
