What I'm looking for

I seek a role combining cybersecurity and data analysis where I can apply endpoint protection, threat hunting, and ML-driven insights, with opportunities for growth and client-facing impact.

I am an inquisitive, energetic computer science specialist focused on cybersecurity, data science, and endpoint protection. I combine hands-on security engineering with continuous learning and industry certifications to stay current with evolving threats.

In my role at Crystal Technologies Limited I conduct threat and risk analysis, implement vulnerability assessments, configure endpoint and cloud security, and manage security agent maintenance for clients. I also provide technical sales support, client training, and develop information security standards and procedures.

I have implemented and supported enterprise security solutions including CrowdStrike, Kaspersky, and managed MSP/EPP services for banks, the Ministry of Education, and insurance clients. I have experience in patch management, MSP deployments, Active Directory setup, and designing security controls and incident response plans.

I hold a First Class BSc in Computer Science and am pursuing an MSc in IT Security and Audit. My professional approach emphasizes practical remediation, clear communication with stakeholders, and delivering measurable security improvements.
