What I'm looking for

I'm looking to build secure, impactful digital systems where I can combine hands-on cybersecurity, risk governance, mentorship, and inclusive innovation.

At Takealot, I develop and manage the company-wide ISMS, support ISO 27001 certification, and deploy open-source SIEM, IPS/IDS, and UEBA tools. I combine penetration testing, threat assessment, security audits, and automation to strengthen monitoring, governance, and incident response.

I've also co-founded Intact Line, where I lead security architecture for secure technology solutions including Corda and React Native digital wallets. My experience at PwC and Deloitte spans IT risk assessments, SOX and ITGC reviews, SOC1 reporting, incident investigation, and translating technical findings into clear business and compliance recommendations.
