## About

```text
At OVL Foundation, I built the ICT department from scratch as the sole IT authority reporting directly to the CEO. I developed an ICT Policy Manual aligned with ISO/IEC 27001 and Nigeria's Data Protection Act (NDPA 2023), and produced a 100-Day ICT Implementation Plan and ICT KPI framework.

At KPMG, I supported senior project managers on client-facing projects by preparing project documentation and status reports, coordinating team meetings, and tracking action items.

At Lasaco Assurance Plc, I configured network switches and wireless access points and supported WAN connections and virtual servers. I also supported data analysis using Python and Excel, and developed Python scripts to automate data entry for monthly reporting.

At Mountain Top University, I assisted research on enterprise network infrastructure and simulated network configurations in Cisco Packet Tracer. I also worked as an Academic Tutor, and my Computer Science degree earned First Class Honours.
