KenyaWhat I'm looking for
I am a detail-oriented, technically versatile software developer who bridges full‑stack web development and cybersecurity to build responsive, secure web applications and reliable security tooling.
I have hands-on experience building React frontends and Node.js backends, deploying with Docker and cloud platforms, and creating lab SOC environments to perform vulnerability assessments and detection tuning. I contributed to production projects, integrated third‑party APIs, wrote SQL, and optimized application performance.
I combine development discipline with security practices—automating tasks with Python and Bash, using tools like Nmap, Wireshark, OpenVAS and Splunk, and applying secure coding, incident response, and mitigation strategies to reduce risk and improve operational readiness.
