Cybersecurity trainee at HiiT Plc who developed a hybrid intrusion detection system with real-time monitoring and threat explanations.
NigeriaWhat I'm looking for
At HiiT Plc, I completed cybersecurity and networking training and developed Python applications through technical exercises. That hands-on work helped me build a foundation in threat detection and network security.
I developed a hybrid Intrusion Detection System that combines LightGBM classification with Isolation Forest anomaly detection. It achieved approximately 90.6% accuracy in model evaluation, and I integrated SHAP to explain threat classifications.
I also built a Flask interface for real-time monitoring and file-upload detection, and created a password generator and strength checker. I'm seeking a cybersecurity, SOC, network security, threat detection, or graduate technology opportunity where I can contribute while continuing to develop practical security skills.
