What I'm looking for

I'm looking for a cybersecurity or IT role where I can protect systems and data, monitor threats, strengthen security controls, and provide practical technical support.

I've supported cybersecurity and IT operations at Uganda National Oil Company, AHF Uganda Cares, Keane Consulting, and Fleet Monitoring System.

I install, configure, maintain, and troubleshoot computer systems, software, network hardware, printers, routers, and operating systems. I also provide first-line support and help staff build confidence in basic computer use and IT best practices.

My cybersecurity work includes vulnerability assessments, penetration testing, SIEM monitoring, security protocols, SQL-driven audits, and AI-driven fraud and phishing detection. I've implemented antivirus, firewall configuration, data encryption, backups, and protections against phishing, malware, and unauthorized access.

I've completed a Master of Science in Cybersecurity and bring a practical approach to keeping systems, data, digital transaction records, and IT assets secure and well documented.
