What I'm looking for

I seek roles where I can lead penetration testing, strengthen compliance programs, integrate DevSecOps practices, and mentor teams while working in collaborative, regulated environments.

I am an Information Security Consultant and Informatics Computer Scientist with hands-on experience in penetration testing, vulnerability management, and security advisory across web, mobile, and network environments.

I have supported ISO 27001, ISO 22301, ISO 20000, ISO 9001, GDPR and Kenya Data Protection Act compliance, performed risk assessments and pre-certification audits, and implemented security controls for cloud and on-prem infrastructure.

I collaborate cross-functionally to integrate DevSecOps practices, build incident response and monitoring capabilities, deliver security awareness training, and develop methodologies that scale security delivery for clients.
