What I'm looking for

I am seeking a role that values innovation and continuous improvement, where I can leverage my engineering and IT skills to drive efficiency and enhance production processes.

I am a mechanical engineer and IT specialist with over 5 years of experience in maintenance engineering, production management, and IT management. My career has been marked by a commitment to quality and efficiency, consistently exceeding KPI targets while delivering excellent customer service. I thrive in high-pressure environments, adeptly analyzing and resolving complex issues while building lasting business relationships.

Throughout my career, I have successfully automated labor-intensive production processes, significantly reducing production time at Aponye Uganda Limited. I led a maintenance team that effectively avoided major breakdowns, ensuring smooth operations. My adaptability to the IT sector has allowed me to refine my skills, which I continue to practice. I have also participated in significant projects, including the assembly of Kayoola diesel buses during my internship at Luweero Industries and the relocation of a server room at URA Tower during my time at TMT Technologies.
