About

Iโ€™m a Cybersecurity and AI researcher, educator, and recognized thought leader, passionate about making technology safer and more trustworthy. I was named one of the Top 10 Cybersecurity Thought Leaders in Education. My journey into IT/Cybersecurity began from humble beginnings, including early mistakes like accidentally formatting my fatherโ€™s brand-new computer, and navigating language barriers as a non-native English speaker. Overcoming these challenges strengthened my resilience, shaped my skills, and inspired me to help others succeed in cybersecurity and technology, no matter their background. I am currently pursuing a fully funded PhD at the University of the West of England while serving as an associate lecturer in cybersecurity. My research focuses on defending large language models like ChatGPT against multi-turn jailbreaking attacks, combining technical rigor with practical cybersecurity solutions. My work has been recognized with the Best Paper Award at UKCI 2025, the first Black African to receive this honor, reflecting a commitment to innovation and impact. Beyond research, I serve as a board member and UK Cyber Security Council assessor, helping recognize qualified cybersecurity professionals and organizations across the UK. I also mentor students worldwide and support startups through Startup Bootcamp, the #1 startup accelerator in Europe, helping early-stage innovators turn ideas into impactful solutions. I bring a diverse set of skills including cybersecurity research, AI safety, software development, and Linux expertise, and I am proud to have created the first Bash scriptโ€“style cyber content series, Bash Family, blending technical education with creativity. Outside of technology, I am deeply passionate about religion, spirituality, art, and drawing. I serve as a spiritual guide and co-founder, along with L'Ermite Panet, of "L'ร‰quipe du 7", a close-knit group where we explore and compare religions, spiritual organizations, and ideologies. These passions inspire my approach to innovation, teaching, and storytelling in cybersecurity. I thrive at the intersection of innovation, collaboration, and impact, sharing insights with the global cybersecurity community, mentoring the next generation, and turning challenges into actionable lessons. Feel free to DM me to explore potential collaborations, public speaking engagements, or initiatives in cybersecurity and AI. ๐Ÿค
