About

My real name is Kamal Hegazi, a second-year CSIT student at the Egypt-Japan University of Science and Technology (E-JUST) with a strong passion for information technology, cybersecurity, and competitive programming. I thrive on tackling complex technical challenges and continuously seek growth through hands-on learning, collaboration, and competition.

I was a member of Team W4llz for 8 months, where I actively participated in Capture The Flag (CTF) competitions and contributed as a security content writer. During this time, I competed in multiple international events, including SekaICTF 2025 and CrewCTF 2025, focusing on web exploitation, reverse engineering, and OSINT. I particularly enjoy crafting in-depth technical write-ups that break down attack vectors and defensive mechanisms to make advanced concepts more accessible to others.

In parallel, I am a competitive programmer with Team Mission Semicolon, where I have strengthened my algorithmic thinking, problem-solving skills, and teamwork under high-pressure environments. Our team’s qualification for ECPC 2025 reflects our disciplined preparation and commitment to continuous improvement.

I currently work as a Security Content Engineer at MetaCTF, where I contribute to challenge design, educational cybersecurity content, and hands-on learning experiences aimed at developing real-world security skills. My work involves creating innovative CTF challenges, writing detailed educational material for learners of all levels, and collaborating on projects that bridge theoretical knowledge with practical applications. I am also involved in community outreach and mentorship, helping others sharpen their cybersecurity skills through workshops and tutorials.

My long-term goal is to bridge the gap between theoretical knowledge and practical cybersecurity. My interests span ethical hacking, system and network security, cryptography, and applied defense techniques, and I aspire to contribute to the cybersecurity community through research, technical writing, challenge creation, and building secure, innovative systems.
