Human-Centered Cybersecurity
I’m Shima, a cybersecurity professional in training with a unique advantage: I understand the human side of security. My UX background allows me to analyze platforms from both perspectives—how attackers think and how real users behave.
I design and test systems with usability, clarity, and resilience in mind, helping reduce human error and strengthen overall security.

Secure UX Design
I design intuitive, user-centered interfaces that not only look great but are built with security in mind from day one. By blending usability principles with cybersecurity best practices, I create digital products that users trust and enjoy — reducing risk while enhancing experience.
