I am a hands‑on security researcher and IT professional with a Bachelor's in Business Information Technology (Mount Kenya University). My experience spans both independent web security testing and an official ICT internship at Kenya's Ministry of Agriculture.
What I bring:
Web Security: Identify and exploit OWASP Top 10 flaws (SQLi, XSS, IDOR) using Burp Suite and custom Python tools.
Scripting & Automation: Built blind SQL injection extractors (conditional‑error & time‑based), a brute‑force toolkit, and a hex analysis workbench – all on GitHub.
IT & Systems: Reduced network downtime by 20%, managed Zimbra email system, led a team of interns, and performed critical data backups.
Reporting: Authored a detailed web security case study covering vulnerability discovery to remediation, written for both technical and non‑technical audiences.
I am actively seeking a Junior Penetration Tester, Web Application Security Analyst, or SOC Analyst role in Nairobi or remotely. I am immediate available and willing to travel within East Africa.
