Hi, I’m Ifeanyi. I work on application security and threat detection, lead technical teams, and write practical guides for other engineers. This is a collection of my work, writing and professional journey.
Two examples from my professional experience, with the approach and outcomes behind them.
01 / APPLICATION SECURITY · FCMB
Moving security checks into delivery.
Led testing for critical banking applications and secure code reviews across more than 20 applications.
Approach & outcomes +
Approach
Integrated SAST, DAST and software composition analysis into CI/CD pipelines. Combined secure code review with dependency scanning and licence checks.
Outcomes
Reduced critical and high-severity vulnerabilities by 45–70% and production security incidents by 40%. Prevented deployment of 100+ vulnerable or non-compliant packages.
02 / SECURITY OPERATIONS · WAZUH
Turning telemetry into useful detections.
Designed multi-tenant SOC architectures connecting network, endpoint and threat-intelligence sources.
Approach & outcomes +
Approach
Developed custom detection rules, decoders and correlation logic. Connected workflow automation and alert ticketing to day-to-day SOC operations.
Outcomes
Improved alert fidelity and increased SOC operational efficiency by 25%. Shared monitoring and incident response practices through technical writing.
