What I'm looking for

I seek a dynamic work environment that fosters growth and innovation in cybersecurity.

I am a dedicated computer scientist with a strong foundation in cybersecurity and technical support. My journey began with a Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, followed by a Master's in Information Systems, where I honed my skills in Internet technology and data mining. I have a deep passion for technology, which drives my continuous learning and development in the field.

Currently, I work as a Junior Cybersecurity Engineer at Africa Global Logistics, where I assist in security architecture and design, implement security controls, and support incident response. My previous experience as a Senior Technical Support Engineer at Tek-Experts allowed me to provide expert support to Microsoft customers globally, utilizing tools like Kusto Query Language and Azure. I also interned at Forage, where I focused on incident response and vulnerability assessments, further solidifying my expertise in cybersecurity.

In addition to my professional experience, I have engaged in freelance web development and bug bounty programs, showcasing my skills in various programming languages. I am fluent in English and Kinyarwanda, with working knowledge of French and Spanish, which enhances my ability to communicate effectively in diverse environments.
