I break software in authorized labs, then help build it back safer. I'm a cybersecurity practitioner training toward penetration testing, SOC analysis and red team work, with a working background in Python and web development. I run a small IT security practice in Kenya and ship real products.

Open to junior roles and internships. SOC analyst (tier 1) and junior pentest roles, security internships, Python automation, and freelance web builds where security matters.

Summary

Runs a security practice — Founder of AntechItServices since May 2026, offering penetration testing, security audits and web development to clients in Kenya.
Ships live products — Two platforms in production. MindCare ranked #1 in its category and #2 overall in competition.
Trains on real scenarios — Ongoza Cyber Hub, Cohort 2: mission-based defender and red teaming tracks with mentorship.
Writes Python for work — Python Development Intern at Codveda Technologies; author of an open-source Linux setup CLI and a client-quote Telegram bot.

Skills

Offensive — Testing web apps and networks the way an attacker would, inside an agreed scope, then writing up what was found and how to fix it. Web app testing, Security audits, Red team missions, Recon & enumeration, Kali Linux, Nmap, Burp Suite.
Defensive — Reading alerts, emails and logs calmly, deciding what is real, and escalating with clear notes. Phishing triage, Incident scenarios, Linux administration, Wireshark, Log analysis.

Projects

MamaSalama (Live, 2026; React, Firebase, Groq (LLaMA), Leaflet, OpenRouteService) — In an obstetric emergency, minutes lost finding the right facility cost lives. A mother selects her symptoms, an AI triage step (LLaMA on Groq) rates how urgent the case is, and a live map routes her to the nearest suitable facility. Facilities get their own dashboard for incoming cases, capacity and referrals. Live site
MindCare (Live, 2025; Firebase Auth, Firestore, AI-assisted support) — People looking for mental-wellness support need a private, low-barrier place to start. User accounts on Firebase Authentication, data in Firestore, and AI-assisted support tools. It offers supportive information, not clinical care. Ranked #1 in its thematic category and #2 overall. Live site
AntechItServices quote bot (In use, 2026; Python, Telegram Bot API) — Client enquiries arrived scattered across chats with missing details, slowing down quotes. A Python bot that collects what a client needs (pentest, audit, web build or repair) and turns it into a structured quote request. The front door for AntechItServices client requests.
LinuxSetupPro (Open source, 2025; Python, CLI, Linux / Termux) — Setting up a fresh machine or lab VM by hand takes an afternoon and is easy to get wrong. A Python CLI that automates first-run setup (packages, shell and tooling) so a new machine reaches a working state in one pass. Repository
FisherGuard (In progress, 2026; React, Firebase, Leaflet, Open-Meteo + StormGlass, PWA) — Fishermen head out without one clear answer on whether conditions are safe, and have no fast way to call for help. Combines marine weather from Open-Meteo and StormGlass into one safety level per trip, maps fishing zones and marine services, and puts an SOS button on screen that sends the user's GPS position. A built-in marketplace lets buyers order catch directly from fishermen.
AntechEvents (In progress, 2025; JavaScript, Tailwind, Firebase) — A JavaScript front end with Firebase for data and authentication, for creating and organizing events.
