Hey there! I’m Ali B. AlNaseeb, a computer engineering student who’s fascinated by the art of breaking things—legally, of course! My main passion is penetration testing, where I get to dive into systems, find the cracks, and help businesses patch them before the bad guys can. Think of me as the person who keeps hackers on their toes.

Currently, I’m wrapping up my final year at The Pennsylvania State University, where I’m majoring in Computer Engineering and minoring in Cybersecurity. I’m also proud to represent Kuwait, where I earned a prestigious full merit scholarship from the Ministry of Higher Education—an honor given to just 5% of sponsored students.

One of the highlights of my career so far has been working at Kuwait Oil Company (KOC), where I was part of the Incident Response team and played a role in Cyber Threat Management. I spent a lot of time in the Information Security Operations Centre room, the beating heart of KOC’s cybersecurity operations. Alongside the KOC cybersecurity team and Deloitte, who served as a contractor, I focused on finding and patching vulnerabilities to keep their systems safe from digital threats.

When I’m not testing systems or hunting for security gaps, you’ll find me experimenting in the kitchen or planning my next travel adventure. Just like with technology, I’m always looking to discover something new—whether it’s a great recipe, an exciting destination, or a fresh approach to solving a problem.

Let’s connect! Whether you want to talk tech, brainstorm innovative ideas, or share travel tips, I’m always up for a great conversation.
