About Mohammed Ahsen Siddique:
I’m a certified cybersecurity and DevOps professional with hands-on expertise in penetration testing, SOC operations, vulnerability management, and malware analysis. Over the past years, I’ve delivered CompTIA PenTest+ and EC-Council CEH training for government and enterprise teams, equipping professionals with practical skills to defend against evolving cyber threats.
My technical toolkit spans Wireshark, Nmap, Metasploit, Qualys, Splunk, and Linux/Windows troubleshooting, and I thrive in both offensive and defensive security environments. Beyond technical delivery, I specialize in training design, endpoint support, and incident response documentation, ensuring teams not only learn but apply cybersecurity strategies effectively.
I’m passionate about career mobility, global collaboration, and continuous learning — whether through building malware analysis labs, tackling SOC simulations, or mentoring professionals across borders. Currently, I’m open to remote/hybrid L2/L3 support, IT admin, and advanced security engineering roles, with flexibility to work across global time zones.
