-Welcome! I am a data scientist applying machine learning tools and causal
-inference techniques to remote sensing data. I am an affiliated
-researcher with the [Data-driven Analysis of Peace Project](https://dapp-lab.org)
-and a research collaborator with the 
-[Research on International Policy Implementation Lab](https://bridgingthegapproject.org/ripil).
+Welcome! I am a passionate and dedicated cybersecurity professional who constantly learns and applies security best practices, principles, and frameworks in securing assets. With a strong foundation in information security principles and risk management frameworks such as ISO 27001, COBIT, GDPR, ITIL and HIPPA for protecting critical data and systems, I am eager to contribute to building safer and more resilient digital environments.
 
-I earned my PhD in Political Science from the
-[University *of* North Carolina *at* Chapel Hill](https://www.unc.edu) and my
-BA in Political Science from [Haverford College](https://www.haverford.edu).
-My academic work has been [published](publications) in the
-*American Political Science Review*, *International Studies Quarterly*,
-*Conflict Management and Peace Science*, and
-*Political Science Research and Methods*, among other outlets. This
-[research](research) explores the causes and consequences of political violence
-using a broad variety of methods such as latent variable models, geospatial
-analysis, and big data. I have [taught](teaching) quantitative methodology and
-international relations, and am a certified instructor with
-[The Carpentries](https://carpentries.org).
+My expertise lies in building frameworks with the organisations' available resources in compliance with industry standards to help identify vulnerabilities, mitigate risks, and implement robust security measures to protect sensitive data in ever-evolving threat landscapes. 
+With hands-on and lab experience in network security, threat analysis, and incident response, I thrive in environments that demand critical thinking and quick decision-making. I am proficient in leveraging tools like SIEM systems, firewalls, Wireshark, Nessus, and Metasploit to identify and mitigate potential threats and vulnerability scanners, alongside scripting languages such as Python and Bash, to detect and neutralize security threats effectively and I am also proficient in the use of Mysql for database query. 
+
+I earned my MSc in Cybersecurity from the
+[University *of* Roehampton London]([https://www.roehampton.ac.uk/]) and my
+B.Tech in Statics from [Federal University *of* Technology Akure]([https://www.futa.edu.ng/])
+
+In addition to my academic certifications I also hold certifications such as [e.g., Google Cybersecurity Certificate, CompTIA Security+], which validate my technical skills and commitment to continuous learning. 
+My goal is to stay ahead of cyber adversaries by researching emerging technologies, analyzing attack patterns, and fostering a proactive security culture within organizations.
+
+Beyond my technical expertise, I excel in *Teaching* security with cross-functional teams, delivering comprehensive security awareness training, and translating complex cybersecurity concepts into actionable strategies for stakeholders. Whether defending critical infrastructure or enhancing incident response plans, I am dedicated to making the digital world a safer place.
+
+In my free time, I enjoy participating in capture-the-flag (CTF) competitions, exploring the latest cybersecurity trends, and mentoring aspiring professionals in the field. I believe that a strong defense starts with a knowledgeable and vigilant team, and I am always eager to contribute my skills and expertise to drive success in cybersecurity initiatives.

-My academic research falls into two main areas: understanding the influence of
-geography on actor behavior before, during, and after civil conflict, and
-developing new tools to improve the study of institutions (both formal and
-informal) in peace and conflict. One strand of research in this first area
-explores how the territories that ethnic groups inhabit shape rebel group
-formation and condition their relationship with the state. My interest in
-geography also informs projects on active conflicts including the targeting of
-UN peacekeepers by insurgent groups, civilian victimization after rebel
-territorial conquest, and communal violence in fragile settings.
-
-My other main research agenda uses advanced methods to develop new measures of
-institutions. One project uses Bayesian item response theory to measure the
-strength of peace agreements as a latent variable and free researchers from
-post-treatment bias caused by using the duration of agreements as a proxy for
-their strength. In others, I apply unsupervised learning techniques to over a
-billion observations of product-level international trade data to measure
-economic interdependence and illicit economic exchange.
-
-In a new avenue of research, I leverage social media data to explore
-participation in extremist movements across multiple contexts, gaining insight
-into the early stages of radicalization.
+My academic MSc Cybersecurity at the University of Roehampton, London, investigates OS hardening and vulnerability auditing techniques in Windows and Linux platforms using automated assessment and system security benchmarking. The study and analysis evaluate the effects of Centre for Internet Security (CIS) Benchmarks implemented through granularity using CIS-CAT Lite and Microsoft Security Compliance Tool for Windows operating systems, and employ the same benchmark using OpenSCAP and CIS-CAT Lite for Linux system analysis. 
 
+This study utilised systematic implementation and testing across controlled virtual environments to examine adherence increase, security posture, performance impact, and operational check. The research methodology encircles foundational security assessments, progressive CIS-benchmark utilisation (Level 1 and 2), conformance validation, and quantitative cross-platform analysis.  
+
+The results present significant security improvements across both platforms, with Ubuntu 20.04 achieving +26% and +25% from (59 - 85)% and (60 - 85)% for Level 1 before and after hardening, more increase were seen in Level 2 CIS Benchmarks, whose results are +27 and +36 from (51 - 78)% and (40 - 76)% for CIS-CAT and OpenSCAP, respectively.  
+
+The findings of this research stress the growing need for standard security evaluation systems independent of personal and enterprise environments characterised by the coexistence of two or more operating systems. By applying the tools on an organised basis and critically analysing the results, the research showed how effective the tools are in highlighting inadequate security configurations, attack vectors, unplugged compliance holes, and potential security holes in both OS’s. 
+
+Key results and findings showed that automated benchmarking tools offer substantial benefits to maintain stable and better security postures, such as strong cross-platform support and compatibility in CIS-CAT Lite. The study develops and recommends the best practice tool integration, reporting, and remediation practices. OpenSCAP turned out to be effective on Linux-based systems as a result of its native SCAP compliance, and Windows-specific checkmate was as a result of a combination of CIS-CAT (Lite) and security features in place.  
+
+The research contributes interesting values in cybersecurity by providing inherent evidence of the effect of the tool, by creating evaluation approaches, and by constructing policies and frameworks for sustained security monitoring. Experience demonstrated that tremendous security improvements can be achieved by applying these benchmarking tools in an incremental phased manner by individuals and organisations, via measurable reductions in security risk exposure and enhanced conformance postures.
