Professional Journey

How I became a security professional.

I currently hold four active roles simultaneously: SOC Analyst at NexSecure Cybersecurity, IT/Cyber Intelligence Analyst & EDMS Focal Officer at FGLEA Lagos Strategic Command, founding-team Cybersecurity & IT Operations Analyst at YENAK Technology, and Cybersecurity Specialist Volunteer at Nigerian Innovation. Each role feeds the others — law enforcement intelligence work sharpens how I investigate SOC incidents; SOC operations sharpen the technical rigor I bring to government digital transformation.

Computer Science — National Open University of Nigeria
BSc Computer Science, NOUN Abeokuta, completed March 2022. Led NACOS NOUN chapter — first taste of coordinating a technical community, not just studying independently.
IT Instruction & Early Technical Work
SIWES internship at ChoiceField Cyber Cafe, WordPress development at Techphilia NG, and IT instruction at DeDynamic Comprehensive College (May 2022 – Jul 2023) — teaching networking, cybersecurity basics, and IT fundamentals to secondary school students. This is where I learned that teaching a concept clearly is the real test of understanding it.
FGLEA — Administrative & IT Support Officer
Jul 2023 – Jul 2025. Delivered IT support and system troubleshooting in a highly regulated, security-conscious law enforcement environment. Managed confidential records and internal documentation with strict confidentiality compliance — the foundation for everything that followed.
FGLEA — IT/Cyber Intelligence Analyst & EDMS Focal Officer
Jul 2025 – Present. Promoted into a dedicated intelligence and digital-systems role. Built and deployed the Automated Nominal Roll Web Application, digitising records for 485 officers and eliminating a paper-based process entirely. Serves as Focal Officer for a nationwide EDMS rollout, coordinating digital submission of arrest and seizure records and leading nationwide officer training ahead of go-live.

SOC Analyst — NexSecure Cybersecurity
Nov 2025 – Present. Monitor and triage security events across client environments using SIEM tools and threat feeds. Completed the NexSecure Cybersecurity Bootcamp with three full incident investigations as final projects — phishing/credential compromise, USB-borne RAT infection, and a black-box penetration test — each documented to a formal reporting standard.
Threat Intelligence & OSINT Investigation
Identified and investigated the MutaCryptor scam network independently — after being personally targeted by the same fake-internship pipeline — producing a formal TI report (CNTI-2026-001) submitted to the EFCC and published to ICDFA Directory as public threat intelligence.
2026 — Founding Roles & Advanced Study
YENAK Technology (Founding Team, Cybersecurity & IT Operations Analyst) and Nigerian Innovation (Cybersecurity Specialist Volunteer) both began in 2026. Earned AMICDFA (Associate Member, ICDFA) in March 2026 and enrolled in the Advanced Critical Infrastructure Security Programme (ACICP), Cohort 11 — a fully-funded, 24-week, task-based programme running through December 2026.
