About Me

👋 Hi, I am Chaden Ben Ammar a Third-year Engineering Student in Teleinformatics at Higher Institute of Computer Science and Communication Technologies of Sousse.

I am deeply passionate about Software Engineering, DevOps, DevSecOps, and Cybersecurity, with a particular focus on building secure, resilient software systems.

My expertise spans modern development practices such as CI/CD automation, cloud platforms, containerization, and infrastructure as code, enabling me to design and deliver scalable, secure, and efficient solutions.

Beyond academics, I actively explore the intersection of security and software engineering, blending theory with real-world applications through projects and hands-on challenges.

My goal is to leverage cutting-edge technologiesto build reliable and secure digital systems while staying at the forefront of innovation in DevSecOps and cybersecurity.

Social Engineering Game

Personal Project: September 2025

Gamification
Phishing
Awareness
Web App
Open Source

📘 Purpose

To raise awareness about social engineering attacks by providing an interactive and engaging way for users to learn how to identify phishing emails, fake links, and manipulation tactics.

🧾 Description

The Social Engineering Game is a gamified web application designed to simulate real-world phishing and social engineering scenarios. Instead of passively reading about cyber threats, users actively experience them in an interactive environment, learning to recognize and respond to red flags in real time. The project emphasizes that while firewalls and security systems are strong, human awareness is often the weakest link, making education the first line of defense.

⚡ Key Features

Interactive phishing and social engineering scenarios

Gamified approach to cybersecurity learning

Real-time feedback on identifying red flags

Open-source code for community collaboration

Deployed with modern development and security tools
