TanzaniaWhat I'm looking for
I am a Cybersecurity Engineer and Full Stack Engineer focused on designing and securing scalable digital systems over half a decade. My core expertise lies in API security, network defense and IoT system protection, ensuring systems are functional and resilient against modern threats. I work across the full stack, integrating security into the development lifecycle through a DevSecOps approach.
I have built and led security-focused initiatives—overseeing cybersecurity projects, conducting security assessments, and leading penetration testing engagements. I develop secure systems using technologies such as React, Vue, Django, Laravel, AI/ML, BlockChain, and I’ve delivered highlighted projects including an intelligent smart financial payment platform, a biometric authentication system (face recognition and WebAuthn simulation), and a blockchain-based secure identity prototype integrated with MetaMask.
