What I'm looking for

I'm transitioning into Cybersecurity Engineering and am also suited to DevOps/Middleware Engineer, Backend/Systems Engineer, or Enterprise IT Support roles.

At Equity Bank Kenya, I provide enterprise IT support, digital onboarding, and access management across branch systems and digital/core banking platforms. I support account and credential provisioning, VPNs, and incident resolution while collaborating with infrastructure and cybersecurity teams.

At E&M Technology – ELP Apprenticeship Program, I developed and supported Spring Boot microservices, including a Forecourt Management System and a Litigation Management System. I implemented OAuth2 and JWT with role-based access controls, and supported CI/CD pipelines and Kafka-based workflows.
