Cybersecurity Consultant | SIEM (Wazuh) | OCI Certified

Cybersecurity consultant based in Botswana with hands-on experience in SOC operations, SIEM deployment, and cloud security. I manage endpoint monitoring using Wazuh, coordinate incident response workflows, and produce security analysis reports — including authoring the internal documentation that standardizes how those reports are structured. I hold three OCI 2025 certifications reflecting a deliberate focus on cloud security, and I'm actively building toward a career at the intersection of security operations and cloud infrastructure.
