What I'm looking for

I’m seeking new challenges where I can combine security and IT systems/network skills to improve safety, performance, and user experience—reducing cost and driving technology innovation while growing my career.

I’m a results-driven information technology professional with more than two years of experience in Information Technology Systems Management, Network Administration, and technical support. I also bring over five years of experience as a dedicated security officer, focused on the safety of people, premises, and assets.

In my role as Security Officer at Inter-Con Security for the U S Embassy Accra Ghana, I patrol premises to prevent and detect intrusion, monitor CCTV cameras, and respond to alarms. I control access by screening visitors and employees, and I handle emergencies with first aid when necessary, while improving security protocols and customer service.

Alongside security, I’ve built hands-on IT experience through internships at Labone Senior High School, Dexafrica, and GIT Plus. I managed databases for performance, security, and availability, troubleshot database issues, supported hardware/software for staff and students, and delivered training—while also working on web development, mobile development, and geographical information system (GIS) mapping.
