What I'm looking for

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

I am a dedicated Cybersecurity Engineer with a strong foundation in cloud security, network protection, and security operations. My journey in cybersecurity began with a Bachelor of Science in Information Technology, specializing in Software Engineering and Cloud Computing, followed by a Master of Science in Information Technology with a focus on Cyber Security from Carnegie Mellon University Africa. I thrive on identifying and mitigating security risks, ensuring compliance with industry standards, and implementing robust security measures to protect digital assets.

Throughout my career, I have gained valuable experience in various roles, including Cybersecurity Engineer at Elixirr Digital and Cloud Security Engineer at Fifthnote. My work has involved designing and implementing security controls for cloud-based applications, conducting penetration testing, and developing automated compliance monitoring tools. I am passionate about staying updated on the latest security trends and technologies, which allows me to build strong defenses against evolving cyber threats.

As a Teaching Assistant at Carnegie Mellon University Africa, I have had the opportunity to share my knowledge with students, conducting practical security labs and tutorials. I believe in the importance of education in cybersecurity and am committed to fostering the next generation of security professionals. I am eager to continue my professional journey, contributing to innovative security solutions that enhance organizational resilience.
