Hi, my name is

Samuel Selasi Kporvie.

I develop & secure systems.

I am a Senior Software Engineer and Cybersecurity Specialist. I focus on the structural integrity of backend systems, building secure network automation pipelines, and applying advanced encryption to protect data.

Check out my work!

About Me

Hello! I am a Software Engineer and Applied Cryptography Researcher with an MSc in Computer Science and a BSc in Biomedical Engineering from the University of Ghana. I build systems that merge commercial software scalability with strong cryptographic protections.

Recently certified as a Google Cybersecurity professional and Cisco Cybersecurity Defense Analyst, with practical labs in threat detection, network security, and vulnerability assessment.

I study data protection frameworks and secure code deployment. My research focuses on using homomorphic encryption to protect third-party information in forensic investigations.
