What I'm looking for

I am seeking a role that allows me to leverage my cybersecurity expertise while fostering a culture of innovation and continuous improvement.

I am an accomplished IT Manager with over 11 years of experience in IT operations, cybersecurity, and governance. My journey has been marked by a proven track record in developing IT strategies, managing large-scale infrastructures, and enhancing security frameworks. I hold a Master's in Information Security and Digital Forensics from the University of East London, which has equipped me with the knowledge to protect organizational assets and drive efficiency.

In my current role as a Cybersecurity Instructor at Milima Cyber Academy, I deliver training on cybersecurity principles and ethical hacking, guiding learners through certifications from (ISC)², EC-Council, and Cisco. Previously, as the Head of Information Technology at Greenhill Holdings, I led network administration and cybersecurity efforts, successfully reducing incidents by 50% through proactive measures. My commitment to IT governance and compliance has ensured that my teams operate within regulatory standards while optimizing costs and performance.
