Aspiring AI Security Engineer & Computer Science Student at Mount Kenya University (MKU)

I build secure, transparent, and impactful AI systems that protect everyday Africans from digital threats — especially in the mobile money ecosystem.

Currently obsessed with two missions:

• Protecting vulnerable users from mobile money fraud that wipes out life savings.
• Mastering adversarial thinking at both the model and network layers.

🔥 Vigilant AI
AI-powered fraud detection system built specifically for African mobile money (M-Pesa & similar).
Core Features: Rule engine + Machine Learning classifier + SHAP explainability → Live Demo

🌐 AfricaNDR
Network Detection & Response platform tailored for African fintech infrastructure.
Uses Zeek sensors + custom parsers to detect SIM swaps, API abuse, C2 beaconing, and mobile money-specific network threats. Feeds live telemetry into Vigilant AI.

🛡️ AI Security Red Team Lab
Hands-on offensive pipeline for learning adversarial machine learning.
Current Focus: Block 1 — Building AdversarialForge (foundations of attacking & defending AI models).

Languages & Frameworks

Security & Networking
Zeek • Scapy • Docker • Network Forensics

ML Ops & Explainability
SHAP • Streamlit • Pandas • SQL • MLflow (in progress)

• Vigilant AI: — Integrating full ML classifier + SHAP explainability layer
• AfricaNDR: Building custom Zeek parsers and feature extraction pipelines
• Red Team Lab: Completing foundational adversarial ML attacks (AdversarialForge)
• Weekly public updates on X — real builds, real failures, real learning

• Remote AI Security / ML Engineering internships & junior roles
• Beta testers for Vigilant AI (especially small merchants & fintech teams)
• Contributors familiar with Zeek scripting, adversarial ML, or MLOps
• Mentors in AI Security, Fintech Defense, or Network Security

Feel free to reach out — I’m always excited to learn from experienced engineers.
