Message

At Equity Group Holdings, I manage identity and access administration across business applications, core banking systems, and enterprise infrastructure using SailPoint IdentityNow. I process IAM requests and support identity lifecycle activities across 14,000 identities.

I conduct access reviews and recertifications, identifying excessive or unnecessary access, ex-employee access, and segregation-of-duties conflicts. I coordinate remediation and contribute to application role governance and role matrices.

At Kenya Revenue Authority, I monitored security activity using SIEM and ELK, triaged alerts, and tuned detection rules. I also supported vulnerability assessments, phishing response, and ISO 27001-aligned security and compliance activities.

At Techsavanna Company Limited (Software Solutions), I developed web applications using Python, contributing to authentication, access control, and secure CRUD functionality. I also built a Python-based threat intelligence analysis tool and developed a file integrity monitor using PowerShell and SQL.
