Hello, I'm
Technology strategist and cybersecurity researcher with 18+ years of progressive leadership in enterprise IT infrastructure, cloud architecture, and information security across telecommunications, financial services, and healthcare sectors.
I am a technology strategist and cybersecurity researcher with a demonstrated capacity to translate complex technical challenges into strategic, data-driven solutions that drive organizational resilience, regulatory compliance, and measurable business outcomes.
Currently pursuing an MSc in Information Technology Management (Cybersecurity Analytics) at Oakland University, where I serve as a Graduate Research Assistant, I am conducting active research in machine learning-driven credit risk modeling and healthcare cybersecurity policy.
My 18-year career spans the full spectrum from hands-on systems administration to board-level IT strategy across South Africa, Nigeria, and the United States — always bridging technical depth with stakeholder accessibility.

Comparative study evaluating logistic regression, decision tree, and Random Forest classifiers on a 30,000-record UCI dataset with rigorous train-validation-test methodology. The Random Forest model achieved 81.19% accuracy (sensitivity: 36.40%, specificity: 94.24%), projecting a $396M annual savings potential for a 1M-account financial portfolio.
Developed a comprehensive ISSP for a 250-bed hospital, identifying 37 credential-sharing incidents per quarter and 38% weak password prevalence. Policy targeted reduction of shared logins from 37/qtr to <4/qtr and MFA compliance from 77% to 100%. Deliverables: 60-page research paper, 24-slide executive presentation.
Conducted OWASP ZAP scans of AWS EC2-hosted applications, identifying 1 high-risk, 5 medium-risk, and 11 low/informational vulnerabilities (17 total). Produced technical reports with CVSS scoring, attack vector analysis, and 72-hour remediation timelines, plus executive briefing decks.
Investigated industrial espionage cases using GPS-based evidence analysis, identifying employee visits to three competitor HQs (Ford, GM, Stellantis). Analyzed FBI-recovered dark web data for PII/PHI classification under Michigan MCL 445.72 data breach notification law.
Built multiple regression for automotive pricing (R² = 0.89, 4 significant predictors), logistic regression for IT workforce performance (experience 3× stronger than training), and multivariate competitive pricing analysis ($45 per-route competitive impact).
Completed substitution-permutation network exercises demonstrating mastery of XOR operations, bit-level transformations, and encryption round structures. Verified correctness of every transformation stage through programmatic validation, reinforcing foundational principles applied in real-world security protocol design.
Synthesized five peer-reviewed articles examining AI-driven security management, producing a 14-page report identifying seven integrative insights, including convergence of security and business intelligence, predictive governance frameworks, and socio-technical implementation challenges.
Conducted a full ISO 31000 risk assessment of GreenLeaf Clinic's Appointment Management System. Identified and scored four critical risks using a Threat–Vulnerability–Asset (TVA) worksheet and FMEA methodology (risk appetite = 15). Selected User Access Control as the optimal safeguard (ROSI: 355%), implementing RBAC with Manager, Receptionist, and Doctor roles, account lockout policies, and demonstrated SQL injection exploitation on a prototype built in ASP/HTML with a Microsoft Access backend.
Led "The Innovators" team as Project Manager & Technical Lead on a 14-month, $185K initiative to deliver a university-wide sustainability tracking platform aligned with STARS compliance. Delivered full project governance artifacts: WBS with 49 sub-deliverables across 15 activities, RACI matrix, Gantt chart, and critical path analysis (A→B→C→D→F→J→K→L→M→N→O — 61 weeks). Financial analysis yielded 110.8% ROI, NPV of $97,549, and a 3-year payback period using a Hybrid Waterfall/Agile methodology.
