Background
About Me
Cyber Security Analyst with hands-on experience supporting National Treasury security operations in Nairobi. I combine SOC, network security, and practical GRC exposure with Forage simulations from Datacom, Mastercard, and Deloitte.
I am hands-on with Wireshark, Nmap, Metasploit, Autopsy, SIEM workflows, and basic Python scripting, and I work with Azure fundamentals. I apply risk-based thinking informed by the Data Protection Act 2019 and Computer Misuse and Cybercrimes Act 2018 in project documentation and investigation reporting.
