From curious student to cybersecurity professional
Welcome to my digital fortress! I'm Elliot Jamhuri Nkwama, a passionate cybersecurity enthusiast, penetration tester, and software developer from Tanzania. My journey into the world of cybersecurity began during my Bachelor's degree in Cyber Security at the Institute of Accountancy Arusha (IAA), where I discovered my love for ethical hacking and digital forensics.
What drives me is the constant challenge of staying one step ahead of cyber threats. Whether it's developing YARA rules for malware detection, conducting penetration tests, or researching new attack vectors, I'm always excited to dive deep into the technical aspects of cybersecurity.
Beyond security, I'm a full-stack developer with expertise in Python, Django, and modern web technologies. This combination of development and security skills allows me to build secure applications and identify vulnerabilities from both perspectives.
