Hi I'm Yakub!

I’m passionate about making a difference through technology.

My first substantial experience was working in hospitals, managing IT for emergency departments and radiology across multiple sites. Later, I transitioned to becoming an X-ray and CT engineer, tackling complex hardware repairs and software issues.

One of my greatest career achievements has been troubleshooting and resolving a critical issue that ensured timely cancer diagnosis for patients.

My journey has then taken me through various roles, including an Integration Engineer position and a stint at CyberGuard as a cybersecurity consultant.

Currently, I focus on automation and centralised architecture, always striving to simplify and optimise processes.

Ultimately, I want to contribute to global cybersecurity efforts and make a tangible impact on society.
