What I'm looking for

I seek hands-on IT or network roles where I can apply technical support, network maintenance, and IoT skills within collaborative teams and grow professionally.

I am a Computer Science and Network Management graduate with hands-on experience in IT support, network maintenance, hardware and software installation, and technical troubleshooting. I have completed multiple internships and roles across education and corporate IT settings, and most recently served as Transport Administrator while earlier working in sales and marketing.

I bring strong interpersonal skills, leadership, project and time management, and a practical skillset including IoT, Raspberry Pi, Linux, Python, and Cisco IT essentials. I work well independently and in cross-functional teams and am committed to delivering reliable technical support and continuous learning.
