Ramond learning cybersecurity at Let's Talk Tech.
When the Anglophone crisis shut his school for two years, Nyengka Ramond Nyuyki did not ease back in slowly. He returned, sat his GCE Ordinary Level straight from Form Four, and finished his Advanced Level in a single year.
Today Ramond is an Electrical and Electronic Engineering student at the University of Bamenda, a Python developer and an ethical hacker in training. At Let's Talk Tech he is a facilitator in the Department of Cybersecurity and Penetration Testing, teaching young people how to stay safe online.

Lost years, won back
Nyengka Ramond Nyuyki.
Ramond's schooling began at St. Michael's Academic in Bamenda (SMASA), where he spent Forms One and Two in general education. In Form Three he made a deliberate switch to technical education, drawn by practical systems and problem-solving.
Then the crisis in the North West Region closed schools and stopped his education for two years. When he came back he caught up fast: he sat the GCE Ordinary Level from Form Four and completed the Advanced Level cycle in one year, mostly through disciplined self-study.
Those years taught him to learn on his own, a habit that still drives his technical work.
Hardware, software and security
At the University of Bamenda, Ramond studies Electrical and Electronic Engineering: circuit theory and digital logic, signals and telecommunications, microcontrollers and embedded systems, and the maths and physics behind them.
He does not treat hardware, software and security as separate worlds. He wants to understand the whole chain: how components handle signals, how software handles instructions, and how people's behavior affects security.
The bootcamp that changed his direction
Ramond's Let's Talk Tech penetration tester profile.
In his first year at university, Ramond was selected for the 30-day Let's Talk Tech bootcamp, where he trained in web development, graphic design and security fundamentals. He put it to work straight away in an internship with the Graduate and School Alliance, where he served as team lead on several groups designing web interfaces and digital assets.
Let's Talk Tech noticed his discipline and how readily he helped other trainees. After his internship, he was invited onto the core team as a facilitator in the Department of Cybersecurity and Penetration Testing.
Teaching security by doing it
Ramond knew definitions would not prepare anyone for real threats. He helped move the security lessons away from lectures toward hands-on labs and real-world scenarios, where trainees safely practice finding vulnerabilities, reading attack patterns and securing web apps.
He has personally trained more than 50 young people in digital defense: protecting personal data, spotting phishing scams, managing passwords and using social media safely. In one two-week program alone he trained 34 trainees, and the department's work has reached more than 100 participants.
He also handles OSINT research for the team, verifying information and checking backgrounds when needed, and creates cybersecurity and digital safety posts for Let's Talk Tech's social media.
Learning every single day
- PortSwigger Web Security Academy: daily hands-on labs in web application security and penetration testing, learning how attackers find flaws and how developers fix them
- Python: writing his own scripts and security tools to automate repetitive tasks and analyze systems faster
- Open Source Intelligence (OSINT) with Z-Security: legally finding and analyzing public information, mapping digital footprints and tracking malicious activity
- Further security training with Rana Academy
Conscript and team leader
Ramond as a certified conscript, 2026.
In 2026 Ramond joined the national civic training and conscription program of the National Civic Service Agency for Participation in Development (NCSAPD), which ran in July and August 2026. Governors, Divisional Officers, Mayors and senior administrators came in to teach on governance, public policy and civic duty.
Ramond was the official Team Leader for his group, keeping morale up and coordinating them through physical training, seminars and civic exercises until they graduated together. He finished as a certified conscript of the 2026 cohort and a Civic Promoter.
Earlier that year he also completed a three-day REAMORCE training in Tubah (23 to 25 April 2026), run by the Sub-Divisional Youth Empowerment Center of the Ministry of Youth Affairs and Civic Education.
Speaking up for a safer internet
Advocating for a safer digital space and against misinformation at Heart of Hope.
Ramond also works on digital rights. Through Hearts of Hope and a youth democratic engagement fellowship, he joins regional forums where tech policy and internet governance are discussed, and pushes for young people to have a real voice there.
He has taken part in Ballot Buddy's regional sensitization on youth participation in elections as a first-time voter, and represented the cybersecurity project Kigango at the North-West Economic Forum.
A head for business
Ramond also works in a busy entrepreneurial space, helping manage and sell digital products, smart televisions and electronic components. Customer service, inventory and daily operations have taught him how technology works in the real market, not just under the hood.
“I am because we are.”
Ubuntu, the philosophy Ramond lives by
For Ramond, learning tech is never only about personal success or collecting certificates. Every time he masters something new, he looks for someone to teach it to. Too many young people meet scams, privacy risks and misinformation online with no basic safety skills, and he wants to close that gap so the next generation inherits a safer, more trustworthy digital world.
Beyond the screen
Off the keyboard, Ramond draws art and nature, takes part in cultural events and debates (where he also trains others), and loves time with friends and teammates.
