ABOUT

As a cybersecurity analyst with a foundational understanding of full-stack software development, I have successfully contributed to hands-on CTF competitions. My training under PLP Africa and Cyber Shujaa has equipped me with industry-relevant skills in penetration testing, system hardening, and agile web development using technologies such as Python, Java, C++, React, Flask, Django, SQL, and MySQL. Through freelance project delivery and mentorship, I have developed strong problem-solving, analytical, and collaboration skills essential for a fast-paced tech environment. I am passionate about digital security, secure coding practices, and empowering learners through technical guidance.
