What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a role where I can coordinate alarm/CCTV operations and provide strong IT support—troubleshooting fast, maintaining reliability, and continuously improving security infrastructure with a collaborative team.

I coordinate and manage day-to-day security systems operations by handling fault/service complaints, scheduling technicians, and ensuring timely repair, configuration, and maintenance of alarm systems, CCTV cameras, and access control equipment. I monitor integration with control rooms, response teams, and communication platforms (including VHF radio bridges), and I run routine system checks and performance testing to catch failures early.

Previously, I provided first-line call center IT support and later served as a team lead, troubleshooting hardware, software, network, and call quality issues to minimize downtime. I managed user accounts and system setup for call center operations, supported LAN/WAN and Wi-Fi connectivity (including VPN configurations), assigned PBX extensions, coached teams using performance metrics, and supported two-factor authentication setup using apps like Okta and Google Authenticator.
