I am a Computer Science graduate from Strathmore University with a focus on cybersecurity, distributed systems, software development, and AI/ML. A backend-oriented developer and passionate learner, always eager to expand my knowledge and sharpen my skills.
My defining characteristic is grit, complemented by intense curiosity and the ability to navigate different domains and tech stacks. Always learning while building cool stuff.
I believe that cybersecurity and traditional software development skills are essential regardless of your specific domain of interest. I aim to be a jack of all trades and a master of one.
Here's a glimpse into my development patterns and the technologies I work with most frequently.
A high-performance, standalone Elixir search microservice using an inverted index with TF-IDF ranking and fuzzy matching. Optimized for 150k+ documents with sub-50ms query latency. Load tested: 9.9M requests with 0 failures.
Leverages machine learning (LSTM-autoencoder) for anomaly-based detection of novel, signature-less attacks. Integrates NLP for contextualized threat insights.
A multi-platform URL expansion tool built with Rust that safely expands shortened URLs and provides rich link previews with security indicators.
A secure secret synchronization system for development teams. Replaces unsafe secret sharing with controlled access, auditability, and predictable local environment setup.
Zero Trust security model fundamentally changes how we approach network security. Moving away from the traditional "trust but verify" approach, Zero Trust operates on the principle of "never trust, al
