What I'm looking for

I seek roles combining cybersecurity and network/wireless engineering where I can apply hands-on optimization, incident response, and team collaboration to improve reliability and security.

I am a results-oriented Cybersecurity Specialist and Network & Wireless Engineer with over a decade of experience optimizing network performance, troubleshooting complex issues, and responding to security incidents. I combine hands-on field engineering with security-focused training and analysis to reduce downtime and improve operational metrics.

My background includes fibre optics engineering, drive-test and RF network optimization, IT/telecoms service delivery leadership, and completion of a cybersecurity virtual analyst program with MasterCard simulation. I have a track record of driving efficiency improvements—reducing downtime by 40%, increasing team productivity by 52%, and improving customer satisfaction by 50%.

I bring strong technical skills in access management, intrusion detection, incident response, and risk management, plus practical experience with tools such as TEMS, StableNet, and MapInfo. I am collaborative, detail-oriented, and focused on continuous learning to align security and network operations with business goals.
