What I'm looking for

I seek a dynamic work environment that fosters growth, collaboration, and innovation.

I am a Computer Science graduate with a solid academic foundation and practical experience spanning ten months in CyberSecurity (GRC). I have successfully contributed to multiple hands-on projects during my academic and professional tenure, showcasing my ability to apply technical knowledge to real-world challenges. My proactive attitude and drive to deliver quality results make me a valuable asset to any organization.

In my current role as a CyberSecurity Manager(GRC) at Jubilee General Insurance Limited, I lead internal and external IT audits, ensuring compliance with ISO 27001 and cybersecurity standards. I conduct risk assessments and implement mitigation plans to reduce organizational exposure while collaborating with cross-functional teams to embed GRC strategies into daily operations. My previous experience as an Associate QA at Neodocto Inc. allowed me to enhance my problem-solving skills and contribute to improving QA processes.
