Passionate About
Security & Code
I'm Marwan Fayad, a BSc Cybersecurity student at South East Technological University in Ireland. I combine a developer's mindset with a security researcher's curiosity — building tools that solve real-world security problems.
My work spans penetration testing frameworks, web application security assessment, and log analysis systems. I believe the best way to defend systems is to understand how they're attacked.
Outside of security, I have a background in game development and graphic design — which gives me a unique perspective on how systems and interfaces are built and can be broken.
I am fluent in both English and Arabic, and I'm always looking for opportunities to contribute to open-source security projects and build practical tooling.
My Technical Arsenal
What I've Built
Professional WAF & CDN bypass framework with 100+ evasion techniques across 10 attack categories. Co-developed with Nazariy Buryak.
Automated Python recon framework for the intelligence-gathering phase of a pentest. Combines OSINT, subdomain enumeration, and tech fingerprinting.
Detects brute force, SQLi, LFI & command injection in SSH and Apache logs. Runs 153% faster than naive sequential implementations.
Retro space shooter written entirely in Motorola 68000 assembly language — no engine, no framework, just direct register manipulation and memory-mapped I/O.
Puzzle-driven space exploration game with hand-crafted level design, a tile-based renderer, and a lightweight entity-component system.
A browser DOOM-style shooter rendered as text using a custom raycaster and Pretext layout metrics for pixel-accurate character placement.
Play DoomA fully custom-built personal portfolio website featuring multi-language support, interactive animations, an admin dashboard, and a Palestine awareness section for a college project.
Academic Background
A comprehensive four-year honours degree covering offensive and defensive security principles, network infrastructure, cryptography, and security engineering.
Work History
Developed and shipped game projects independently, covering full-cycle development from design to deployment.
Delivered visual design projects for various clients.
Part-time role balancing work and studies.
Let's Connect &
Build Something.
I'm currently open to internships, part-time security roles, and collaboration on open-source security projects.
