About

Building secure and ethically-governed digital futures. I am a Cyber Forensics Engineering student and founder passionate about transforming policy and technology into tangible protection for individuals and organizations. My path is unconventional: from interning at the Tech companies, where I contributed to national-level data protection policies, to founding my own cybersecurity and AI consultancy to publish and advise on critical tech governance topics. Alongside this, hands-on IT projects in banking and mentoring students to top global universities have grounded my technical skills and reinforced the importance of leadership. What defines my approach? The Policy-Technical Bridge: Translating forensics engineering and programming skills (Python, C/C++, Java) into actionable policy and secure operations. Entrepreneurial Mindset: Seeing challenges as opportunities to build solutions, whether in consultancy, writing, or projects. Global Perspective: Thriving in diverse settings, from Rwanda to Turkey, and communicating fluently in four languages. I am eager to connect with innovators, institutions, and teams dedicated to cybersecurity resilience and thoughtful AI integration. Let's collaborate on what's next.
