What I'm looking for

I am seeking an entry-level cybersecurity or cloud security role where I can apply SOC, incident detection, and hands-on threat analysis skills while growing under mentorship and contributing to secure, collaborative teams.

I am a computer security and forensics professional with hands-on experience in cybersecurity, networking and cloud platforms. I combine formal education with practical project work to build detection and response capabilities.

During an attachment at the Central Rift Valley Water Works Development Agency I troubleshot and maintained hardware and software across multiple offices, configured email and network setups, and processed payroll data for 50+ employees with accurate reporting.

On personal projects I implemented a SOC and honeynet in Azure, using PowerShell to extract Windows Event metadata, ingesting custom geographic logs into Log Analytics Workspace and visualizing global attack data in Azure Sentinel.

I hold certifications including Microsoft Azure Fundamentals, Google Cybersecurity Certificate, and Cisco Cyber Threat Management, and I seek roles where I can apply cloud-native security, incident detection and hands-on threat analysis to strengthen organizational defenses.
