About
I’m Joshua Offe Berkoh.
I started in a SOC in Accra, triaging alerts and working incidents. That led to security engineering, and then to a PhD at the University of Cincinnati, where I measure how the I2P anonymous network is structured and how it changes.
Outside the dissertation I work intrusion scenarios end to end and write them up as CTI reports, so my research and my analyst work keep each other honest.
