Results-driven engineer with 8+ years of experience securing critical infrastructure, building scalable data pipelines, and deploying enterprise networks. First Class Honours graduate with an MSc in Information Security.
A multidisciplinary technologist bridging network security, data science, and systems engineering.
I'm a Network/Systems Engineer and Cybersecurity Specialist currently serving at Kenya Civil Aviation Authority (KCAA), where I design and protect enterprise infrastructure for 900+ users across critical aviation systems.
My expertise spans three distinct but deeply connected domains: network security (NGFW deployment, SIEM, threat detection), data engineering (ETL pipelines, cloud data lakes, dashboards), and machine learning (predictive models for network optimization).
Since 2021, I've also served as a Systems Instructor at East Africa School of Aviation, training industry professionals in cybersecurity, Python, SQL, and data analytics.
I hold a First Class Honours BEng in Electrical & Communications Engineering from Moi University and am completing an MSc in Information Security at USIU-Africa.
Designed and managed secure enterprise network architecture supporting 900+ users across multiple sites. Deployed and managed NGFWs (Palo Alto, Fortinet, Forcepoint), implemented IDS/IPS and SIEM-based monitoring, reducing incident response time by 40%. Built ETL data pipelines, ML models for traffic prediction, and interactive dashboards (Tableau, Power BI). Secured AWS and Azure cloud environments through IAM, encryption, and monitoring.
Delivered hands-on training in cybersecurity, penetration testing, firewall configuration, and security architecture. Trained professionals on secure network design (SD-WAN, SD-Access), Python, SQL, data analysis, and machine learning. Conducted SARPS compliance and security awareness programs.
Managed Windows and Linux server environments ensuring high availability. Implemented enterprise security controls (firewalls, antivirus, IDS), reducing incidents by 30%. Developed backup and disaster recovery strategies, providing technical support with 90% user satisfaction.
Designed, implemented, and supervised electrical and telecommunications installations. Commissioned security and safety systems including fire systems and X-Ray scanners. Created electrical blueprints and ensured regulatory compliance.
Real-world engineering, data, and security projects from enterprise environments and personal labs.
I'm open to consulting engagements, full-time opportunities, and collaborative projects in cybersecurity, data engineering, or network infrastructure. Feel free to reach out.
