Projects

Pentest Box

Penetration Testing, Exploitation and Defense Project

This is a project I worked on where I had a virtual linux machine and metasploitable that I used to practice different pentesting skills using tools like nmap, man in the middle attacks, metasploit and other frameworks. I started off exploiting the vulnerabilities that were there in metasploitable, then I went further to where for every vulnerability I found and exploited, I patched to try and work on both my defensive and offensive skills.

Bluecart Marketplace

React/Ruby Project

This is a full stack project that uses web scraping with react and ruby on rails This project/website acts as an intermediary/middle man between a consumer and a product. Its products are from two different sites (jumia and jiji) where a consumer can compare prices of the products they want and see which store sells it at a cheaper price and can go to their site directly and purchase from there via our site.

Interests

Apart from being a web developer, I enjoy most of my time being outdoors. If I am not coding, the rest of my time is spent playing basketball in professional tournaments.

When forced indoors, I follow a number of sci-fi and fantasy genre movies and television shows and I spend a large amount of my free time exploring the latest technology advancements in the front-end web development world.

Most of my time though is spent on doing research as I am very much into the field of cybersecurity. The data and information we consume everyday keeps on growing hence there is an ever ending need to enhance security more importantly cybersecurity.
