What I'm looking for

I seek cybersecurity roles that include vulnerability assessment and penetration testing, SOC analyst, perform advanced forensics and OSINT, mentor teams, and help organizations achieve ISO 27001 compliance and stronger risk posture.

I am a seasoned cybersecurity professional with a Master’s in Intelligence and Security studies and extensive hands-on experience in security operations, ISO/IEC 27001 implementation, risk analysis, OSINT and incident response.

As Principal Cybersecurity Analyst and ISMS Manager, I have directed SOC teams for 24/7 monitoring, led digital forensics on corporate data leaks, and overseen a full vulnerability management program including penetration testing and executive reporting.

I designed and implemented an organizational ISO/IEC 27001:2013 program that led to certification, conceptualized and built a Security Operations Centre, and contributed to national cybersecurity policy and strategy for Nigeria.

I mentor and train junior analysts, run OSINT investigations including dark web inquiries, and continually integrate security into development and infrastructure through tools like SIEM, Qualys, MS Active Directory and Linux.
