What I'm looking for

I’m looking to bring my combined background in sales, technical support, and academic research to daily operations.

At Axia Africa, I monitored network traffic, reported security incidents to senior staff, and helped address potential security weaknesses. I also supported MFA setup and created phishing awareness materials for non-technical staff.

For Vendsr, I reviewed the platform and identified CORS errors, client-side form bypasses, unsafe token storage, and malformed inputs affecting merchant registration. I wrote a remediation plan using OWASP standards; in my own business, Faustina Signature, I grew product video views from 46 to over 21,000 and converted more than 80 customer inquiries into sales.
