What I'm looking for

Seeking to advance my career in IT, focusing on cybersecurity and network administration, with opportunities for professional growth and hands-on experience.

My professional journey began with an internship at Otocomm Systems Limited, where I was immersed in technical problem-solving within high-stakes environments like MPSHAH Hospital. During my internship, I handled structured cabling, security system installations, and ICT cabinet configurations, developing a strong attention to detail and the ability to follow complex instructions precisely. After completing my internship in December 2023, I was absorbed as an ICT Technician at Otocomm Systems Limited, where I continued to refine my technical and analytical skills through hands-on work until December 2024. Following this, I secured a new role at MP Shah Hospital in the Infrastructure and Cyber Security department, where I currently serve as the CCTV Admin. In this capacity, I am responsible for overseeing critical security infrastructure, which requires a high level of analytical thinking, calm execution under pressure, and a methodical approach to resolving issues—qualities that directly support the demands of real-time trading operations and continuous strategy evaluation. Previously, at KPLC Thika, I handled operating system installations, domain configurations, and network troubleshooting, including fibre optic cable work. These tasks further strengthened my analytical mindset and ability to adapt quickly to new technical environments.
