Building maritime cybersecurity infrastructure for Africa
Building IMO-compliant GRC, OT/IT convergence, and vessel cyber risk management for African shipping operators — starting in the Gulf of Guinea, expanding globally. IT Lead at Jetense Consultants Limited. ISC2 Certified. MSc researcher and lead-author at MOUAU.
I'm building maritime cybersecurity infrastructure for the Gulf of Guinea — IMO-compliant GRC, vessel cyber risk management, and OT/IT convergence for African shipping operators.
At Jetense Consultants Limited, I've built and deployed vessel network infrastructure, authored 14 enterprise cybersecurity policies aligned to NIST CSF and the ISM Code, deployed Starlink/VSAT and CCTV systems across an AHTS fleet, and written Python automation tools — deep practitioner experience in exactly the environment I'm building for.
I'm also a published lead-author researcher — my MSc work on Carica papaya genetic diversity was published in the Nigerian Journal of Horticultural Science (Vol. 30, 2026), using PCA, Cluster Analysis, and heatmaps to evaluate 60 accessions under Prof. G.E. Nwofia at MOUAU.
On the engineering side, I build AI-native systems: a 21-tool TypeScript MCP server integrating Microsoft Graph and Claude, local AI deployment stacks (NemoClaw/OpenClaw) on WSL2/Docker, and autonomous agent frameworks — designed to run on constrained hardware for African operators.
ISC2 CC certified. 14+ IT security policies, cybersecurity audits, NIST CSF assessments, and maritime cyber risk management.
Lead author, NJHS 2026. MSc in Plant Breeding (MOUAU). Best Graduating Student in Agronomy — 4.32/5.00 CGPA.
21-tool Microsoft Graph MCP server (TypeScript). Local AI stacks on WSL2/Docker. Vector Institute Scholar. Python, R, SQL, Power BI.
IMO cyber risk management, vessel OT/IT hardening, ISM Code compliance. 110-document SMS suite, NIST CSF assessments.
IMO cyber risk management (MSC-FAL.1/Circ.3), NIST CSF assessments, 14 enterprise security policies, IT Disaster Recovery Plans, and ISM Code compliance. OT/IT convergence and vessel network hardening across an AHTS fleet in the Gulf of Guinea.
Shipped a 21-tool TypeScript MCP server integrating Microsoft Graph (Outlook, OneDrive, SharePoint) with Claude. Built local AI deployment stacks (NemoClaw/OpenClaw) on WSL2/Docker and autonomous agent frameworks designed for constrained hardware.
Published lead-author research on 60 Nigerian pawpaw accessions using PCA, Cluster Analysis, and heatmaps. Proven high genetic heritability of Vitamin C and Carotene traits for biofortification.
Vector Institute Scholar (ML for Black & Indigenous Students). Proficient in R, Python, SQL, Power BI, SPSS, GenStat, and SAS for both agricultural and operational data analysis.
Full ISM Code compliance suite for an AHTS fleet — 21 fleet procedure PDFs, 49 operational forms, management review tracking, and an Employee Handbook. The exact GRC documentation layer a maritime cyber platform would manage and automate.
14 enterprise IT security policies aligned to NIST CSF, a full cybersecurity audit report with remediation roadmap, and an IT Disaster Recovery Plan — all scoped for maritime operations and ISM Code requirements.
Hands-on OT/IT deployment documentation across an offshore fleet — vessel network installation reports, Starlink vs 5G connectivity analysis, CCTV deployment, SATCOM data, IT asset registers, and security audit checklists.
385-line Python tool that validates Excel workbook chains — checks external refs, missing sheets, stale named ranges, and generates markdown reports. stdlib only.
End-to-end software rollout methodology for a fleet-wide SmartVessel deployment — training framework, crew-facing scripts, adoption tracking, and user guides for both Cloud and Local Server configurations.
Lead-author publication in the Nigerian Journal of Horticultural Science (Vol. 30, 2026). 60 accessions across Abia, Imo & Rivers States — PCA, Cluster Analysis, and heatmaps establishing h² ≥ 90% heritability for biofortification traits.
21-tool Model Context Protocol server in TypeScript integrating Microsoft Graph API — AI agents can read and draft email, manage calendar, search SharePoint, access OneDrive, and interact with Teams and Power BI. Ships with prompt caching for 80–90% cost reduction on repeated context.

Case Study: Developed a complete ISM Code compliance documentation suite containing 110 files. This included 21 fleet PDFs, 22 editable source documents, and 49 operational forms for Section 7.
Impact: Standardized safety protocols across the fleet and ensured complete regulatory compliance, minimizing operational risks.
Case Study: Authored 14 IT security policies along with a comprehensive cybersecurity audit report and remediation roadmap.
Impact: Strengthened organizational security posture in alignment with NIST CSF, providing clear incident response and disaster recovery procedures.
Case Study: Deployed and managed vessel network installations, CCTV, and Starlink vs 5G systems. Maintained detailed IT asset registers and security audit checklists.
Impact: Ensured robust, high-availability connectivity for offshore fleets, vastly improving real-time communication and data transfer.
Case Study: Built a 385-line Python automation tool to validate complex Excel workbook chains, checking for external references, missing sheets, and stale named ranges.
Impact: Reduced budget calculation errors and saved hours of manual validation time during financial planning.
Case Study: Created the training framework, teleprompter scripts, and user guides for rolling out the SmartVessel software across the entire fleet (Cloud + Local Server).
Impact: Accelerated crew onboarding and ensured high adoption rates for the new fleet management system.
Case Study: Conducted comprehensive research on 60 Nigerian pawpaw accessions. Used Principal Component Analysis (PCA) and Cluster Analysis to map genetic traits.
Impact: Published lead-author paper in the Nigerian Journal of Horticultural Science, demonstrating high heritability of Vitamin C and Carotene for future biofortification.
Case Study: Engineered a custom Model Context Protocol (MCP) server in TypeScript using the Microsoft Graph API.
Impact: Empowered AI agents to securely read emails, manage calendars, and access OneDrive files, showcasing advanced AI-native system integration.
