What I'm looking for

I am looking for opportunities that allow me to grow in cybersecurity, focusing on hands-on challenges and collaborative environments.

I am a dedicated Junior Penetration Tester with a strong foundation in information security, currently pursuing a BSc in Computer Science at Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology. My academic journey has equipped me with essential skills in IT policy development and implementation, as well as hands-on experience in penetration testing.

During my internship, I actively participated in peer learning activities and technical challenges, which enhanced my understanding of security operations. I was responsible for testing the defenses of Security Operations Center (SOC) teams and contributed to building Security Information and Event Management (SIEM) tools to secure systems, websites, and networks.
