What I'm looking for

I'm looking to contribute to high-performing IT security teams and continue developing my expertise in network defense, SOC operations, and cloud security. I'm open to remote work, international collaborations, and visa sponsorship opportunities in the United States or other global regions.

At ABC Capital Bank Uganda, I work as a Network Security Officer, drawing on hands-on experience deploying, securing, and maintaining enterprise-grade IT infrastructures.

My network security work includes Fortinet Security Fabric tools—FortiGate, FortiAnalyzer, FortiManager, and EMS—as well as Sophos Firewall administration, VPN configuration, and incident response.

At netLabs!UG, I designed, implemented, and managed cloud-based systems for businesses. I also worked on cloud application development and migrations, debugging cloud stacks and protecting network data by integrating technology to prevent malicious attacks.

My background includes technical support at Business Centre Limited and ongoing work as CEO of Stevesoft IT solutions. I hold CCNA and Fortinet certifications, alongside credentials in Sophos firewall architecture, NACVIEW, and cybersecurity.
