Cyber security engineer (entry level)
About me
I’m passionate about cybersecurity with a particular interest in network and web application security. I’ve been developing my practical skills in penetration testing, learning how t0 identify and exploit vulnerabilities in controlled environments using tools like Nmap and Burp Suite. I’ve applied these skills in hands-on labs and projects where I practiced systematic testing of systems and web applications at AfricaHackon Academy, always following ethical and legal guidelines. I’m familiar with the core phases of penetration testing from reconnaissance and scanning to exploitation and reporting and I enjoy combining technical analysis with clear documentation.
