00. Introduction
Hi, my name is
Kamil Karim.
I work in BI, data & security.
I’m an IT Security Working Student and B.Sc. Cyber Security Management student (3rd semester) focused on Security, Business Intelligence and Data Analytics. I build reliable dashboards and data workflows, write clear documentation, and support teams with structured, dependable delivery.
Let’s Begin01. About Me
I’m an IT Security Working Student and B.Sc. Cyber Security Management student (3rd semester), passionate about protecting information systems, maintaining secure infrastructures, and improving how people interact with technology through clear processes and documentation.
Before moving fully into IT security, I worked in Business Intelligence, where I developed dashboards, data pipelines, and documentation that improved reporting accuracy and workflow efficiency. That experience shaped the analytical and detail-oriented mindset I apply to my current cybersecurity path.
Today, my focus is on information security management, network safety, vulnerability analysis, and secure IT operations. I enjoy bridging the gap between technical implementation and organizational awareness—helping teams stay secure, compliant, and informed.

03. Some Things I've Built
Capstone Project
Education Excellence – Comparative Study of Germany’s Education System
A data-driven analysis of Germany’s 16 federal states to evaluate the quality of education from 2010 to 2022. The study examined correlations between school investments, teacher ratios, and graduation rates using public datasets.
Results showed that increased investment and smaller class sizes generally lead to stronger academic outcomes, while the overall quality of education in Germany has steadily improved.
Capstone Project
IBM Applied Data Science Capstone Project – SpaceX
This project simulated the role of a Data Scientist at a startup competing with SpaceX. I worked through the data science lifecycle using real launch data — collecting, cleaning, and analyzing datasets to identify patterns linked to successful rocket launches.
It strengthened my skills in data wrangling, exploratory analysis, and predictive modeling with real aerospace data.
Data Project
Azure Sentinel Threat Hunting with Honeypot
I built a virtual machine in Microsoft Azure to act as a honeypot, designed to attract and record cyberattacks from around the world. The data was sent to Azure Sentinel, where I created dashboards to track and visualize attack activity in real time.
Data Project
Happy Muesli — EDA & KPI
We analyzed a muesli distributor’s order-to-delivery process and built simple KPIs to track performance. Using historic orders (with partial timestamps) we rebuilt each step — Order → Ready to Ship → On Truck → Delivered — including real-world rules like weekends, truck days (Mon/Wed/Fri) and Express processing.
Data Project
US Blizzard ’19 – Flights and Weather Data Analysis
We analyzed how extreme weather in North America during the March 2019 blizzard affected flight delays and cancellations. Using flight performance and weather data, our analysis revealed how snow, wind, and temperature variations impacted air traffic across different cities.
The study highlighted key weather factors behind major disruptions and demonstrated how data analytics can help predict and manage such events in the future.
Data Project
COVID-19 Data Exploration
We analyzed global COVID-19 data using SQL in Google BigQuery to uncover trends in cases, deaths, and vaccination rates. The project explored how the pandemic evolved across countries and how vaccine rollout correlated with reduced infection rates.
The goal was to apply SQL data analysis on large, real-world datasets and present insights through clear summaries and visuals.
