Cybersecurity engineer specializing in offensive security, AI-driven defense, and blockchain integrity.
GhanaWhat I'm looking for
I am a third-year Cybersecurity student at Accra Technical University focused on Offensive Security and AI-driven defense mechanisms. I have executed security audits and malware remediation for over 50 client environments and engineered IDS solutions that reduced unauthorized access incidents by 25%.
I leverage machine learning to automate threat detection and optimize data integrity within blockchain ecosystems, and I have built Python/Django full-stack solutions with AES-256 encryption and multi-factor authentication. My experience spans SIEM (Splunk, QRadar), pentesting tools (Metasploit, BurpSuite), and network/security automation (CCNA, DevNet).
I deliver practical, defense-in-depth implementations and streamline technical workflows for global platforms like Zendesk, while contributing to secure blockchain integrations that cut data-breach risk. I seek roles where I can apply offensive and AI-driven defensive techniques to improve security posture and reliability.
