With a solid foundation in Information Systems and Technology, I've specialized in Digital Forensics, Cybercrime, and Fraud Examination. My education is complemented by professional certifications in CFE and training in CISA, and CSX-F. Currently pursuing a Master of Science in Information Security, I've been an active member of ISACA since 2017.
In 2017, I co-authored the Kenya Cyber Security Report in collaboration with Serianu and earned my QRadar Security Intelligence credential from IBM. My practical experience includes working as a Consultant at a leading forensic, audit, and risk advisory firm in Kenya. Over the years, I've supported numerous investigations, audits, and risk assessments across seven countries, including Kenya, South Sudan, Ethiopia, Nigeria, Cameroon, Sudan, and Uganda.
My expertise lies in digital forensics, information security, and open-source intelligence (OSINT). I've applied frameworks like COBIT, PCI-DSS, GDPR, and relevant Kenyan legislation (Computer Misuse & Cybercrimes Act, Data Protection Act) to my work. Continuous professional development has led me to attend training in Cyber Resilience and Incident Response.
As an independent developer with over 14 years of experience, I've consulted on various web and mobile projects. This has equipped me with valuable programming skills that directly contribute to my specialization areas. My industry experience spans over 15 sectors, including Agriculture, Finance, Humanitarian, Manufacturing, Oil and Gas, Telecommunications, Tours and Travel, Hospitality, Logistics, Legal, Entertainment, and Technology.
