CYBERSECURITY PROFESSIONAL
U.S. Space Force | Defensive Cyber Operations Specialist | Colorado Springs, CO
Active duty Space Force Guardian specializing in offensive and defensive cyber operations. Holding active government security clearance with hands-on experience in penetration testing, incident response, and enterprise security infrastructure.
I'm Chukwuebuka Akalegbere — a U.S. Space Force Guardian and Defensive Cyber Operations Specialist currently stationed in Colorado Springs, CO. With an active TS/SCI clearance and deep hands-on technical experience, I bridge the gap between offensive security knowledge and real-world defensive operations.
My background spans penetration testing methodologies, incident response, digital forensics, and enterprise infrastructure — built through both military service and relentless self-driven learning on platforms like TryHackMe (top 1% globally) and competitive CTF competitions.
I'm pursuing my bachelor's in cybersecurity and working toward OSCP certification, with a long-term goal of transitioning into cleared penetration testing at a defense contractor. I don't just study security — I build it, break it, and understand it from the ground up.
I'm actively pursuing cleared penetration testing opportunities and open to conversations with defense contractors and cybersecurity firms. If you're looking for a technically sharp, security-cleared professional — let's talk.
