What I'm looking for

I seek a security-focused IT role where I can apply hands-on network and system protections, grow in incident response, and collaborate with teams in a compliance-driven environment.

I am a dedicated Information Systems Security Officer with over two years of hands-on experience in IT infrastructure, system security, and network administration.

I have implemented security controls, monitored LAN/WAN environments, administrated firewalls, supported SIEM/log analysis, and managed CCTV and access control systems to reduce vulnerabilities and improve uptime.

My background includes roles at K MG Complex Limited and Njunu Tea Factory where I led incident response, performed vulnerability assessments, maintained technical documentation, and delivered user support with strong communication skills.

I graduated with a Diploma in Information Technology (GPA 3.5/4.0), earned recognitions such as dean's list and a project competition win, and I bring practical troubleshooting, risk identification, and compliance experience to strengthen organizational security.
