What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that offers growth opportunities in cybersecurity, where I can apply my skills in network security and ethical hacking while contributing to a dynamic team.

I am an experienced cybersecurity professional with a strong background in network security, ethical hacking, and penetration testing. My expertise lies in identifying vulnerabilities and protecting critical infrastructure, ensuring enterprise networks are secure against cyber threats. I have a proven ability to perform advanced penetration testing and vulnerability assessments, focusing on mitigating risks and implementing robust security solutions.

Currently pursuing a Master's in Cyber Security and Pen Testing, I have gained hands-on experience as a Cybersecurity Intern at The University of Hong Kong's Clinical Trials Center. My role involved monitoring security alerts and logs from various systems, supporting the incident response team, and contributing to the development of forensic procedures. My previous experience as a Networking Intern at the Uganda Police Force allowed me to assist with IP address management and the implementation of security measures, further enhancing my technical skills.
