I'm Mashal Buhamad — an independent cybersecurity consultant based in Kuwait, focused on infrastructure security and AI-driven threat intelligence.

With 25+ years in the field I've helped organizations across the Gulf detect, respond, and adapt to evolving threats — from hands-on penetration testing to building enterprise-grade detection programmes.

When I'm not in threat-hunting mode you'll find me on the HAM radio bands as AD9IQ (Amateur Extra) or buried in a good book.
