What I'm looking for

I'm looking to contribute ICT systems, network support, software testing, data security, and Microsoft 365 support skills in a mission-driven organization that values reliable systems, user training, and continuous improvement.

At Weza Care Solutions / Reach Networks, I test software across hardware, operating systems, network environments, and Microsoft 365 applications while automating test scripts and tracking defects through closure. I also provide first-line technical support for end users, connectivity, devices, and Microsoft 365 access.

I've managed ICT infrastructure, data security, backup and disaster recovery, procurement, vendor relationships, staff training, and help-desk operations for NYARWEK Network, Kenya Broadcasting Corporation, and Judiciary of Kenya projects. I helped reduce Judiciary case filing and service turnaround time from 40 days to 7 days through stronger workflow, verification, and documentation practices.
