Hi, I’m Benjamin

I am a current PhD researcher in Biosystems and Food Engineering.

I am equipped with varying professional experiences including four years of teaching, three years as an administrator, customer relationship management, project management and research. Possesses prolific team spirit, analytical, creative, research, communication, organizational and ICTs skills.

Although my background is non-technical, I am highly passionate about cybersecurity, especially in defending systems, analyzing threats, and keeping networks safe. This is the basis of beginning my transition journey. My core interests are Cloud Security and Security Operations Center (SOC), and every day I move closer to that dream.
