What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that fosters growth in cybersecurity, with a focus on collaborative environments and innovative security solutions.

Elite Cybersecurity Professional with Diplomatic-Grade Security Expertise

I'm a battle-tested cybersecurity architect who protected critical infrastructure across 15 West African nations at ECOWAS Parliament—one of the world's most complex multi-jurisdictional security environments. My career transforms cyber vulnerabilities into fortress-level protection.

🛡️ Career Highlights:

International Security Leadership At ECOWAS Parliament, I designed cybersecurity frameworks securing diplomatic communications for an entire regional bloc. This wasn't IT support—this was protecting the digital backbone of international diplomacy where breaches could impact millions across West Africa.

Measurable Excellence • Slashed incident response times by 20% through IBM QRadar SIEM orchestration • Elevated network uptime from 97% to 99.9%—mission-critical reliability • Identified 65 high-risk vulnerabilities through systematic penetration testing • Safeguarded 5TB+ critical data through bulletproof disaster recovery

Technical Mastery Complete cybersecurity spectrum expertise: ethical hacking (CISCO CEH certified) to enterprise security architecture. Mastered Metasploit testing, NIST framework implementation, AWS/Azure cloud security, and Cisco ASA firewall hardening.

🌍 Remote Work Excellence:

Cross-Cultural Leadership Working with diplomats from 15 nations taught me navigating complex regulatory environments and cultural nuances while maintaining peak security posture—invaluable for global companies with distributed teams.

Remote-First Operations Orchestrated security across multiple time zones, managed virtual incident response teams, implemented awareness programs crossing cultural barriers. GMT+1 location provides excellent European/American overlap.

Strategic Vision I prevent problems, not just fix them. My approach combines deep technical expertise with strategic thinking, ensuring security solutions scale with business growth.

🎯 Continuous Growth: Passionate about diplomacy-cybersecurity intersection. Expanding in zero-trust architecture, AI-powered threat detection, blockchain security, and APT analysis.

What I Bring: Government-grade security experience, international perspective, proven high-stakes results. I've secured nations' digital infrastructure—imagine what I'll do for your organization.

Ready to elevate cybersecurity with someone who's literally secured international governance?
