What I'm looking for

I'm seeking an entry-level Cyber Security Analyst role where I can apply my practical web application security skills.

At PortSwigger’s Web Security Academy and in HackerOne CTF challenges, I’ve been practicing web application security testing since March 2025. I work with tools including Burp Suite and Nmap to test for common vulnerabilities.

During my SIWES Internship at the National Information Technology Development Agency (NITDA), I supported IT troubleshooting, documented risk assessments, and assisted with infrastructure maintenance. During my national service year at MSS Academy Gusau, I planned and delivered lessons and organized practical exercises.
