I work at the intersection of security, systems, and business analysis | turning vague problems into clear, workable solutions.
I’m Zavier Chambers, a dual-degree student in Computer Science and Cybersecurity at Duquesne University, with hands-on experience in identity & access management (IAM), internal tooling, and requirements-driven development.
I’m less interested in hype and buzzwords, and more interested in:
- explaing how systems actually behave,
- why they fail or bring value,
- and how to design solutions that people can understand, use, and trust.
Most “technical” problems start as communication problems. I focus on fixing that first.
-
🔐 Cybersecurity & IAM
Identity, access controls, authentication models, and audit-friendly workflows. -
🧩 Business Analysis for Technical Systems
Translating fuzzy needs into clear requirements, acceptance criteria, and delivered outcomes. -
🛠️ Practical Tools & Explainability
Small, focused projects that demonstrate concepts instead of just describing them. -
⚙️ Systems Thinking
Understanding tradeoffs, failure modes, and constraints, not just implementations.
- Deeper expertise in IAM, enterprise security tooling, and identity workflows
- Stronger love for interpreted languages (Python, Bash, etc) and system design
- Realistic offensive security techniques for defensive understanding (homelab only)
- Clearer documentation, requirements capture, and stakeholder-facing communication
Most of my work lives in small, self-contained tools and explainers:
- Client-side security demos
- Privacy-first utilities
- Workflow and requirements capture tools
If it’s public, it’s meant to be used, not just admired.

I’m interested in building technology that’s understandable, defensible, and actually useful & not just impressive on paper.
