What I'm looking for

I am seeking entry-level roles where I can apply Python, AI, and cybersecurity skills, learn on the job, and contribute to practical projects in a collaborative, growth-focused environment.

I am a motivated diploma student in Artificial Intelligence and Cybersecurity at Africa International University, actively pursuing practical experience in software development, cybersecurity, and IT support.

I have built multiple Python projects including a rule-based course assistant chatbot, a machine learning model from scratch, and AI-driven data analyses, showcasing hands-on skills in data preprocessing, model training, and visualization.

I hold industry certifications from IBM SkillsBuild and Cisco Networking Academy, including Artificial Intelligence Fundamentals, Linux Essentials, and Introduction to Cybersecurity, and I maintain an active GitHub presence with seven public repositories.

I am committed to continuous learning, collaborative development, and contributing to innovative tech solutions where I can apply my Python, AI, and cybersecurity knowledge in an entry-level professional role.
