What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a role where I can secure enterprise networks, administer Sophos firewalls and access controls, and keep critical offline systems running through fast troubleshooting and continuous cybersecurity learning, with a strong focus on minimizing downtime.

I’m a dedicated IT professional with 11 years of hands-on experience managing enterprise network IT infrastructure, software deployment, and system maintenance for government financial systems. I focus on operational security—configuring secure network topologies, administering Sophos firewalls, and enforcing strict user access controls to minimize downtime.

In my current role as an IT Technician & Unit Head, I manage secure internet access and internal network privileges for authorized personnel, ensuring compliance with department security frameworks. I design, deploy, and troubleshoot robust local network infrastructure tailored for highly secure, offline enterprise environments.

I also install, patch, and repair core enterprise payroll and specialized systems to maintain database continuity and efficiency. Alongside practical infrastructure work, I continuously upskill through cybersecurity and threat-mitigation training, including C# Object-Oriented Programming and hands-on job simulation in email threat defense and incident response.
