What I'm looking for

I am seeking a role that fosters growth in cybersecurity, emphasizes teamwork, and allows me to tackle real-world security challenges.

I am a computer science graduate and cybersecurity specialist with hands-on experience in network security, cyber threat detection, and incident response. My journey began at the Catholic University of Eastern Africa, where I honed my skills and developed a strong foundation in computer science. I am passionate about contributing to a safer digital space through my expertise in vulnerability assessment and penetration testing.

Throughout my career, I have worked as an IT Support Technician, where I diagnosed and resolved various technical issues, and as a Junior Software Developer Intern, where I developed secure applications and conducted penetration testing. My projects, including a Python-based TCP port scanner and a GPS asset tracking system, showcase my commitment to continuous learning and practical application of cybersecurity principles.
