What I'm looking for

I seek a hands-on cybersecurity role in a security-focused, fast-paced team where I can apply vulnerability assessment, incident response, and compliance skills while growing technical expertise.

I am a Security+ certified junior cybersecurity analyst completing a BSc in Applied Computer Technology (Forensic IT & Cybercrime) at USIU-A with a strong academic record (GPA 3.77) and consistent Dean's List placement. I bring hands-on experience in vulnerability assessments, incident documentation, and supporting security operations.

In practical roles at Premier Bank Kenya and Konvergenz Limited Solutions, I conducted vulnerability scans, analyzed security tool reports (OpenVAS, Nessus, Burp Suite), supported UAT, and contributed to incident response and remediation reporting aligned with ISO/NIST frameworks. I have monitored SIEM alerts, performed log analysis for authentication anomalies, and escalated confirmed incidents per procedures.

I value clear documentation, compliance alignment, and proactive threat mitigation, and I seek to contribute technical skill and analytical rigor to a security-driven team focused on resilient operations and continuous improvement.
