KenyaWhat I'm looking for
At Salaam Technology, I lead IT solution architecture and software deployments, designing secure, scalable infrastructure for organizational security operations.
I oversee endpoint management, privileged access controls, and enterprise security deployments while aligning technical implementation with security and compliance goals.
My work has progressed from SOC monitoring, incident response support, and threat intelligence gathering to hands-on security solution delivery. I use SIEM platforms including Graylog and Wazuh alongside Docker, Azure, Linux, Fortinet technologies, and log management practices.
I also bring GRC and privacy assurance capabilities through ISO/IEC 27701:2025 Lead Auditor and GRC Analyst credentials. I'm focused on AI-powered threat defense and building audit-ready environments that help organizations manage risk strategically.
