@felixachachi
Cybersecurity student at Strathmore University who automated M-PESA’s duty rota with Power Automate.
KenyaWhat I'm looking for
At M-PESA, I built a duty rota automation system using Power Automate, replacing manual scheduling and reducing the team's coordination effort.
For my cryptography final project, I implemented Diffie-Hellman key exchange, HMAC-SHA256 authentication, and AES-256-CBC encryption in a Python tkinter app. I built and presented the system end to end.
At Strathmore University, I’ve worked through hands-on networking and security labs, including setting up a certificate authority and deploying Apache over HTTPS. I’m seeking a chance to apply my technical skills in a production environment.
