The proof
Every role, project, certification, talk, award and press mention, in one filterable record. Jump straight in by skill:
A free, live tool that applies zero-trust to a cross-border trade counterparty before you send money. Runs a real-time domain registration check (public RDAP) and scores how verifiable a supplier is across four pillars: identity, provability, authorization, resilience. The identity-first thesis as a working tool.
An autonomous assistant that clears noise and prevents task drift. A multi-agent system on Google's GenAI SDK orchestrating eight specialised agents: planning, scheduling, metrics, memory, mail, meetings and more. Built for the Kaggle × Google 5-Day AI Agents Intensive capstone, among 11,468 teams.

FAQ
Cloud Security Engineering, Identity & Access Management (IAM), and IT-OT security integration. IAM is the core strength; cloud security is hands-on at associate level; OT integration is where I'm building depth. I keep the target narrow on purpose.
Every credential on the Certifications page links to third-party proof: verified Credly badges, issuer portals, or the certificate itself. The full verified set lives on my Credly profile, and skills standing is public on Google Skills (Diamond League).
Founding and running ventures across Africa taught me how systems behave under real-world pressure: people, money and infrastructure all failing in ways a lab never shows you. Cloud security is the same discipline aimed at a harder problem, identity as the control plane. The throughline is systems that hold up.
I work across African and global contexts: in person across South Africa, and joining global summits online. The Events page lists where. Remote-first is fine; the work is identity and cloud, not a location.
