What I'm looking for

I am looking for opportunities that allow me to grow in cybersecurity, contribute to innovative projects, and work in a collaborative environment.

My name is Phineas Gichambi Karimi, a dedicated Cyber Security student currently enrolled at Equip Africa Institute in Thika, Kenya. With a strong foundation in programming, networking, and communication, I am eager to leverage my technical skills to contribute to the field of cybersecurity. My education has equipped me with essential knowledge in programming languages such as Python, HTML, CSS, SQL, and JavaScript, as well as a solid understanding of networking principles and cybersecurity practices.

In my current role as an ICT Technician at Arise Technical Training Institute, I have honed my skills by leading as an ICT instructor and providing critical support across the college. I have developed engaging lessons in networking, programming, and computer maintenance, ensuring that students receive a comprehensive education. Additionally, my freelance web development experience has allowed me to successfully design and implement various student web-based projects, showcasing my ability to deliver client satisfaction and project efficiency.
