What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that fosters growth, collaboration, and innovation in cybersecurity.

I am a dynamic and results-oriented cyber security specialist with over three years of practical experience in both technical and non-technical domains. My expertise encompasses Governance, Risk, and Compliance (GRC) and Security Operations Centre (SOC), where I am passionate about the defensive aspects of cybersecurity, data, coding/scripting, cloud, AI, edge computing, and blockchain. I excel in identifying, evaluating, and mitigating cybersecurity risks, ensuring the highest level of protection for sensitive data and organizational assets.

Throughout my career, I have successfully enhanced organizational resilience by aligning security frameworks with industry best practices and legal requirements. My hands-on experience includes deploying networking devices, configuring security tools like Wazuh and Splunk, and conducting risk assessments. I have also taken on leadership roles, such as a chief instructor at CyberadNation, where I achieved a 95% pass rate among my students. I am dedicated to helping organizations build proactive cybersecurity strategies to mitigate current and future risks.
