What I'm looking for

I'm seeking a remote Cybersecurity Analyst, Backend Software Engineer, or IoT Solutions Architect role where I can build secure systems, automate workflows, and contribute to threat-aware engineering.

I've delivered cybersecurity, networking, and backend development training at Elimu Resource Centre, increasing student certification pass rates by 34% through hands-on simulation labs.

I standardized network lab infrastructure and built automated grading frameworks that saved 15 hours of manual review each week. I also created incident response playbooks and ethical hacking exercises adopted in institutional training workflows.

At Tech Kidz Africa, I conducted authorized penetration testing and vulnerability assessments with Metasploit and Wireshark, helping eliminate critical web application vulnerabilities. I also taught 150+ learners robotics programming, microcontrollers, electronics, and sensor automation.

I'm an award-winning hackathon builder who has developed secure Python requisition systems, an online learning management platform, and connected IoT and robotics solutions using sensors, edge computing, and secure network architectures.
