About

Currently a computer science student at UO with a strong interest in cybersecurity and IT. I enjoy building cool stuff and regularly learning new things on the go

At UO I major in cybersecurity through the IBM Skill build program. I also share my knowledge with my peers at Boycode Africa cybersecurity cohort alongside my instructors. To stay relevant and up to date I suffice my knowledge with the CompTIA Sec+ and Net+ official learning resource and also currently studying for the CCNA (Cisco Certified Network Associate)

Before that: I did an IT apprenticeship at Catalyte, following a rigorous introduction to the field of cybersecurity and earning the Google professional Cybersecurity Certification and IT certification.

I care about contributing to teams from day 1 and contributing meaningfully while learning the skillsets required to do so.

Outside cybersecurity I also have interest in building products and project management, currently building DrCV.ai , an app to help students and career-switchers surface their best skillsets when applying for roles with AI.

Open to entry-level and Internship roles at companies and firms building amazing products and contributing my skillsets from day 1 meaningfully .
