Solace Ngugi — Operations Associate
I build web applications that work, and I make sure they don't break when someone tries to break in. The Developer Side I'm a Frontend Developer specializing in React and JavaScript. I've built custom web applications for clients across industries, focusing on clean UI, performance, and usability. Code should look good AND work well. The Security Side I'm a Cybersecurity student at The Cooperative University of Kenya, with hands-on experience in: - Network traffic analysis (Wireshark, tcpdump) - Incident investigation and system troubleshooting - OS hardening and log analysis - Custom security tooling (I build my own dashboards) The Highlight In 2024, I co-developed CICERO — an AI-powered fact-checking tool that won 1st place at the Summer OxAI Hackathon. We built it fast, we built it right, and it worked under pressure. Why Both? I believe the best developers think like attackers. When I build a React component, I'm also thinking: "How could this be exploited? Is this form secure? Are we logging suspicious activity?" I'm currently seeking an industrial attachment in IT support or cybersecurity, while continuing freelance web development to fund my hardware upgrades and caffeine habit. Let's connect if you're into: • Clean React code • Network packet analysis • Building things that last • Or just good tech conversations
