Nairobi, Kenya
Aspiring Penetration Tester | eJPT Certified | CCNA | Network Security and Ethical Hacking | Strathmore University
I am a Computer Networks and Cybersecurity student at Strathmore University building practical offensive security skills. In 2026 I earned the eJPT (Junior Penetration Tester) certification, validating hands-on proficiency in reconnaissance, exploitation, privilege escalation, and network pivoting using Nmap, Metasploit, Burp Suite, and Linux.
I have completed cybersecurity job simulations with Deloitte, EY, Mastercard, and AIG, and hold Cisco Networking Academy credentials in Ethical Hacking, Network Defense, Cyber Threat Management, and CCNA Switching and Routing.
I am open to entry-level cybersecurity, SOC, or penetration testing internships in Kenya and remotely.

A real-time messaging platform that implements end-to-end encryption using standard cryptographic protocols. Built with Python and Tkinter, providing secure communication channels between users.
This is a fork of kakeetopius/SecureChatApp. End-of-semester project for Cryptography 2.
View on GitHub (SecureChatApp)A machine learning project that builds and compares a Decision Tree classifier and a Linear SVM to detect fraudulent credit card transactions on a highly imbalanced dataset. The SVM achieved a higher ROC-AUC (0.986 vs 0.939); the Decision Tree improved after feature selection to six features (V3, V10, V12, V14, V16, V17).
View on GitHub (Credit Card Fraud Detection)Centralized Identity and Access Management using OpenLDAP on Debian. Integrates NSS and PAM for seamless Linux client authentication and centralizes user management via phpLDAPadmin.
View on GitHub (Centralized LDAP Authentication)A multi-node MariaDB replication cluster demonstrating high availability and data redundancy.
View on GitHub (MariaDB Replication Cluster)Full DNS configuration tree with computers on different subdomains resolving queries recursively up the hierarchy.
View on GitHub (Complete DNS Tree)Complete mail server setup with Exim, Dovecot, Roundcube, and email-based automation.
View on GitHub (Enterprise Mail Server Suite)NFS and Samba file sharing configuration on Debian.
View on GitHub (Linux Infrastructure File Services)Educational repository implementing multi-class classification with logistic regression using One-vs-All and One-vs-One strategies on the Obesity Risk dataset.
View on GitHub (Multi-class Classification)A text editor written in C to practice core C concepts such as memory management, file I/O, and terminal handling.

Passed with 82 percent. Domains: Web App Pentesting (100 percent), Host and Network Pentesting (90 percent), Host and Network Auditing (80 percent), Assessment Methodologies (72 percent). Tools: Nmap, Metasploit, Burp Suite, Linux.
For pivoting to work, the compromised host must be connected to two or more networks. The compromised machine acts as a bridge between you and your target.
An introductory guide outlining Git as an essential version control system for tracking project history and enabling collaboration. Covers configuring user details, managing file states through staging, and creating snapshots with commit messages.
Explains the fundamental differences between bind and reverse shells in cybersecurity, using Netcat as the primary example. Bind shells require the attacker to connect to a listening port on the victim; reverse shells force the victim to initiate the connection to the attacker. Reverse shells are preferred for bypassing modern firewall controls.
Hands-on security research and network analysis in a university lab environment.
Building an end-to-end encrypted messaging application from scratch with other developers.
Participate in Capture The Flag competitions and virtual labs to practice real-world security skills.
Created a personal lab environment to practice networking and security concepts.
Completed multiple Cisco certification courses as part of degree program.
Under the SBL program I provided my skills and organized coding workshops for underprivileged youth, teaching basic programming and cybersecurity awareness. I used tools such as Scratch and Python to make learning fun and accessible. I mentored two students and guided them to complete a project submitted to the Kenya Science and Engineering Fair.
