What I'm looking for

I seek roles combining telecommunications/IT and humanitarian registration or protection work, with opportunities for technical impact, leadership, and service-oriented team environments.

I am an experienced communications and IT professional combining engineering training with years of field work in refugee protection and registration. I have served in UNHCR registration and protection roles, managed HR & IT functions in the private sector, and completed internships as a NOC engineer and in rural ICT initiatives, contributing technical solutions and reliable program delivery.

My background includes a Master of Engineering in Communication and Information Systems and a Bachelor in Electrical and Electronic Engineering, strong skills in networking, cybersecurity, programming (C++, Python), and interests in blockchain, 5G and IoT. I am punctual, adaptable, and committed to using my technical and leadership experience to support humanitarian operations and ICT-driven development.
