What I'm looking for

I seek cybersecurity roles where I can apply ISO27001, digital forensics, and incident response skills, contribute to compliance, and grow technically.

I am a detail-oriented cybersecurity specialist with practical experience implementing ISO/IEC 27001 controls, conducting digital forensics, supporting penetration testing, and leading incident response and security awareness initiatives. In my current role as IT Security Officer for a government communications division, I provide day-to-day IT support, monitor systems to reduce downtime, contribute to risk identification, and help develop and enforce ICT and information security policies.

I have completed a Bachelor of Computer Applications (Honors) in Cybersecurity and held internships in IT audit, administration, and security where I conducted ISO 27001–aligned audits, identified control gaps, assisted remediation, and supported ISMS documentation. I hold certifications and training including CEH (EC-Council), ISO27001 Lead Implementer, PECB auditor training, CCNA fundamentals, and hands-on mobile forensics and Python scripting coursework.
