Who I Am

I'm a Cybersecurity student at Lead City University, Ibadan, Nigeria, with a passion for blue team security operations, threat detection, and GRC compliance.

Beyond academics, I independently build real-world security labs — simulating attacks, detecting threats with Splunk, writing Python automation tools, and conducting full GRC audits mapped to industry frameworks.

Currently completing a 6-month SIWES placement in Defensive Security at HiiT PLC, Ibadan, deepening my knowledge in CEH concepts and CompTIA Network+.

When I'm not building security projects, I'm at the gym — the same discipline I bring to everything I do.
