About the Founder

Josiah Markus Danbinta

Cybersecurity Analyst | Founder, Joshwares Tech Academy

Joshwares Tech Academy was founded by Josiah Markus Danbinta, a Cybersecurity Analyst with a BSc in Computer Science and an MSc in Cybersecurity. With several years of hands-on experience in incident response, threat detection, vulnerability assessment, secure system implementation, and security awareness training, he understands both the technical side of IT and the confusion many beginners face when trying to enter the field.

Through education, practice, and professional experience, Josiah saw a common problem: many young people want to enter IT, but they do not know where to start, what field fits them, or how to move from beginner to professional. Some start with the wrong tools. Some follow trends without understanding the foundations. Others stop halfway because nobody clearly explained the journey.

Joshwares Tech Academy was built to give back to the community by helping young people, students, and graduates make informed, confident, and realistic career choices in IT. The platform is designed to simplify the journey, explain paths clearly, and connect learners to practical free resources that support steady growth.
