Security-first. Client-focused. Results-driven.

Most businesses discover a breach only after damage is done — stolen data, downed systems, or a ransom demand. I help you find and fix the weaknesses in your network, systems, and applications before that moment arrives.

I'm a certified cybersecurity analyst based in Abuja, Nigeria, working with clients remotely across the US, Europe, and beyond. My work spans vulnerability assessments, penetration testing, SOC analysis, and security awareness training for teams that handle sensitive data.

I use tools like Nmap, Wireshark, Kali Linux, Splunk, and Microsoft Azure Security to simulate real-world attack scenarios — so you get a realistic picture of your exposure, not just a checklist. Every engagement ends with a plain-English report your team can actually act on.

I hold certifications from ISC2, Google, Microsoft, and the University of Maryland — and I bring the same rigour to a small business audit as I do to enterprise training engagements.

Projects

Real-world simulations, CTF challenges, and hands-on lab work demonstrating practical security skills.

Blue CTF (MS17-010 / EternalBlue)

⚠ Business impact: This class of vulnerability enabled the WannaCry ransomware attack affecting 200,000+ organisations globally.

Full penetration test on a vulnerable machine — from Nmap reconnaissance and Metasploit exploitation of EternalBlue to post-exploitation privilege escalation and flag capture.

CTF Metasploit Nmap EternalBlue Penetration Testing

Vulnversity CTF

⚠ Business impact: File upload bypasses and SUID misconfigurations can give attackers full root access to production servers.

Gained access via a file upload vulnerability (bypassing filters with .phtml) and escalated privileges to root by exploiting a SUID misconfiguration on systemctl.

CTF Nmap Privilege Escalation File Upload SUID GoBuster

Command Injection — Newsletter CTF

⚠ Business impact: Unvalidated form inputs allow attackers to execute OS commands on your server, leading to full system compromise.

Identified a command injection vulnerability in a newsletter signup form. Bypassed validation and used Commix to gain an OS shell, then located and retrieved a hidden backup file.

Command Injection Commix Web Exploitation Burp Suite

Simulated SOC Malware Investigation

⚠ Business impact: Without a structured incident analysis process, malware dwell time averages 200+ days — enough time to exfiltrate your entire customer database.

Performed a simulated SOC malware investigation, analyzing PCAP data in Wireshark to uncover IOCs, map the infection chain, and deliver a detailed incident report with remediation steps.

Wireshark Packet Analysis Digital Forensics PCAP IOC

Incident Analysis AI Agent

⚠ Business impact: Automated triage reduces incident response time from hours to minutes — critical when every second counts during an active breach.

Built a proof-of-concept AI tool that ingests security logs and PCAP files to automatically summarise incidents and recommend mitigation steps, reducing analyst workload.

Python AI/ML Log Analysis PCAP Automation

Inter-VLAN Routing Lab

⚠ Business impact: Without VLAN segmentation, a single compromised device can access your entire network — including finance and HR systems.

Designed and configured a multi-VLAN network on a Layer 3 switch to segment traffic and enable secure, controlled communication between different network departments.

VLAN Layer 3 Switch Routing Cisco Packet Tracer

Secure Network with DMZ

⚠ Business impact: A properly configured DMZ prevents public-facing servers from becoming an entry point into your internal systems.

Implemented a secure network topology using a Cisco ASA firewall to create distinct security zones (Office, Guest, DMZ) and enforce a strict access control policy.

Firewall Cisco ASA DMZ Network Security ACL

Cyber-Resilient Network Architecture

⚠ Business impact: A multi-layered defence-in-depth architecture means that if one control fails, others still protect your critical assets.

Designed and simulated a secure network with VLAN segmentation, ACLs, port security, and a DMZ to create a multi-layered, resilient architecture aligned with defence-in-depth principles.

Data Cleaning & Verification Techniques

📊 Business impact: Dirty data costs businesses an average of $12.9M per year. Reliable cleaning processes are the foundation of trustworthy analytics.

Developed a hands-on guide demonstrating essential data cleaning techniques in spreadsheets (Find/Replace, Pivot Tables) and SQL (CASE statements) to ensure data integrity and reliability for downstream analysis.

SQL Data Cleaning Spreadsheets ETL Pivot Tables

Windows Log Analysis & Troubleshooting

🖥 Business impact: Systematic log analysis can reduce mean time to resolution (MTTR) by 60% — cutting downtime and operational losses.

Utilised Windows Event Viewer to diagnose and resolve a series of system issues, including low disk space, a malicious process, and incorrect file permissions — demonstrating a systematic, evidence-based approach to troubleshooting.
