What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that allows me to apply my skills in cybersecurity and data analysis while contributing to a team-oriented environment.

My name is Samuel Ochieng Ojijo, and I am an aspiring ethical hacker with a solid foundation in criminology. I graduated with a B.A. in Criminology from KCA University, where I developed a keen interest in understanding the criminal justice landscape and digital forensics. My education has equipped me with the analytical skills necessary to assess and address cyber threats effectively.

Currently, I am pursuing a certification in Ethical Hacking at Strathmore University, where I have gained intermediate proficiency in various modules such as vulnerability analysis and threat hunting. I have successfully led projects that utilized data analysis to identify opportunities for improvement, and I am proficient in software used for crime mapping. My passion for technology and commitment to continuous learning drive me to stay updated on the latest trends in cybersecurity.
