What I'm looking for

I'm looking for an opportunity to grow in cybersecurity security analysis, helping identify and mitigate threats while applying Python, network monitoring, access control, and hands-on security lab experience.

I've supported internal network monitoring and troubleshooting at the Federal Mortgage Bank of Nigeria, helping the IT team address connectivity issues and participating in internal knowledge-sharing workshops.

Through Tata's IAM simulation and Mastercard's cybersecurity program, I've practiced implementing access controls, reviewing privileged accounts, analyzing phishing scenarios, and recommending security awareness training.

I'm completing a BSc in Cyber Security at Bingham University and build hands-on projects including a Python Fernet encryption tool, an Active Directory and pentesting virtual lab, and a Caesar cipher encryption tool.
