Fiber optic splicing technician delivering reliable network connectivity through troubleshooting.
KenyaWhat I'm looking for
I’m a self-driven IT professional focused on challenging work where my education, experience, and abilities can be applied while I grow into greater responsibilities. I bring expertise in network infrastructure, technical support, fiber optic technology, and customer service, with a strong emphasis on troubleshooting and optimal system performance.
In my current role as a splicing technician, I carry out fiber optic cable splicing, testing, and fault diagnosis during network implementation projects. I also support network restructuring and upgrade activities, perform fiber termination and OTDR testing, and assist in preventive and corrective maintenance to keep network operations reliable.
Previously, I led fiber optic installation and maintenance for major clients to ensure seamless internet connectivity. I also installed and maintained CCTV systems, provided computer maintenance for hardware and IT peripherals, and trained junior technicians to strengthen operational excellence.
I’m comfortable working with technical teams to deliver timely problem resolution, and I maintain compliance with safety regulations and technical standards during field operations. I approach every task with excellent communication, teamwork, and a commitment to continuous learning and innovation.
