Hello there, folks! It’s been a while, eh? I can’t believe this is my first-ever proper post on LinkedIn, but here we go! I’ve been busy sharpening my skills and embracing new challenges in my professional journey. 🌟

After completing my BSc (Hons) in Computer Security, I decided to broaden my horizons and focus on an entirely new area—IT Project Management. To take this leap, I moved to Canada and enrolled in the Post-Graduate Certificate in Project Management – Information Technology at Seneca College.

This program was a game changer! It introduced me to the many facets of IT management that I hadn’t explored before. From strategic planning to resource optimization, the course helped me develop skills critical for bridging the gap between technical expertise and effective project delivery. The structured learning, combined with hands-on application, completely reshaped how I approach planning, execution, and collaboration in IT projects.

During this time, I was privileged to undertake a valuable internship as a Computer Security Intern at Oppos Incorporated, where I:
🔹 Developed and structured comprehensive vulnerability reports to ensure clarity, precision, and actionable insights for stakeholders.
🔹 Assisted in building a client onboarding platform to streamline workflows.
🔹 Collaborated across teams to integrate security into project management processes.

The move to Canada was more than just a career decision—it was a personal and professional milestone. The opportunity to learn in a diverse, resource-rich environment gave me fresh perspectives, both in project management and in building a global career.

However, as my understanding of IT management grew, I began to see the potential of combining these skills with my passion for cybersecurity. This realization eventually set me on a path to specialize further in offensive security.

Catch you guys on my next post, where I’ll dive into the journey that followed: my experience in the Post-Graduate Certificate in Offensive Cyber Security at York University, the challenges I faced, and the exciting capstone project that brought it all together! 💻✨
