What I'm looking for

I am looking for opportunities that foster growth in cybersecurity and IT governance, within a collaborative and innovative environment.

I am a dedicated IT professional with over three years of experience in cybersecurity, systems auditing, and IT governance. My journey began with a strong foundation in computer science, which I have built upon through hands-on experience in various roles, including Information Systems Auditor at Fidelity Bank PLC. Here, I conducted risk-based assessments of IT infrastructure, ensuring compliance with global standards like COSO and ISO/IEC 27001.

Throughout my career, I have demonstrated my ability to enhance IT controls and support secure system operations. My work has involved collaborating with cross-functional teams to implement new IT projects while integrating security and compliance requirements. I pride myself on my strong interpersonal skills and my ability to deliver results in fast-paced environments, making me a valuable asset to any organization.
