I build and secure network labs using Cisco Packet Tracer, Kali Linux, Nmap, and Wireshark.
What I'm looking for
I'm building hands-on cybersecurity and networking experience through independent security labs and my Information Technology studies at the University of Rwanda College of Science and Technology.
I configure and simulate enterprise LANs in Cisco Packet Tracer, focusing on efficient data routing, basic routing and switching, network design, and infrastructure defense practices. I also deploy Kali Linux virtual environments to practice ethical scanning, packet monitoring, and vulnerability identification.
Using Nmap and Wireshark, I inspect active network traffic, troubleshoot baseline security connectivity issues, and document system protocols. My technical foundation also includes Metasploit, Wifite, PuTTY, hardware diagnostics, operating system deployment, Python, C, HTML, and database fundamentals.
Through a University of Rwanda peer collaboration initiative, I’ve helped fellow students configure virtualized labs while working through object-oriented programming, mathematical modeling, and circuit topology challenges. I’m motivated by continuous networking labs, open-source security tools, and cybersecurity challenges.
