What I'm looking for

I’m looking to grow in a security role where I can lead SOC operations and cyber threat intelligence, strengthen governance and compliance, and deliver measurable improvements with modern tooling, strong stakeholder alignment, and continuous improvement.

I’m a results-driven Cybersecurity Professional with over 5 years of experience in IT risk management, cybersecurity audits, vulnerability assessments, and digital transformation initiatives. I strengthen organizational security posture by identifying critical vulnerabilities, running risk and forensic assessments, and implementing robust security controls aligned with ISO 27001, NIST, and COBIT. In my SOC role at Kenya Commercial Bank, I lead Security Incident Monitoring and Response across cloud and traditional environments, producing weekly threat intelligence mapped to the MITRE ATT&CK framework.

I’ve helped teams deliver measurable outcomes—reducing false positives in SIEM/SOAR/EDR solutions by 90% and increasing resilience of digital assets against potential threats by 90%. Previously, as an IT Audit Consulting Semi Senior at RSM Eastern Africa, I performed vulnerability assessments and forensic audits, reducing potential security exposure by up to 40% and improving incident resolution time by ~25%, while coordinating digital transformation initiatives that improved operational efficiency by 30%+. I also mentor and supervise trainees, and I’m known for translating complex technical risks into actionable business insights for senior leadership.
