What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that challenges my skills in cybersecurity and backend development, fosters continuous learning, and values innovation.

I am a dedicated backend developer and cybersecurity instructor with a strong commitment to enhancing security measures in technology. My experience includes developing backend components and APIs that facilitate seamless healthcare consultations, ensuring compliance with security standards through rigorous testing and documentation.

As a cybersecurity instructor, I have crafted comprehensive curricula and organized boot camps that have educated over 100 attendees across Nigeria. My proactive approach in conducting penetration tests and developing incident response plans has equipped organizations with the necessary tools to safeguard their digital assets.

With a solid foundation in both backend development and cybersecurity, I am passionate about bridging the gap between technology and security, ensuring that systems are not only functional but also secure against potential threats.
