Together with the CAT team at The Engine Room, I maintain the Cybersecurity Assessment Tool. I work with developers to improve accessibility and coordinate language support, making the tool easier to use across different languages and communities.
Before joining The Engine Room, I worked with organisations to assess and strengthen their digital security using an earlier version of CAT. I was also included in the Ford Foundation’s “Honest Mechanics” list of Cybersecurity practitioners supporting BUILD Grantees and Civil Society Organizations.
