Message

At Chemonics International Inc., I lead day-to-day IT and help desk operations across remote project locations and manage a team of 9 IT support and cybersecurity staff. I also maintain IT policies and apply Nigeria Data Protection Act requirements through reviews, policy development and staff training.

I built the E-Approval Request Portal on PowerApps, SharePoint and PowerAutomate to replace an unsupported approval app. Deployed in August 2026, it serves 220 users and has processed 650+ requests, cutting average approval time from several days to under 24 hours.

I designed and deployed an enterprise-wide MDM solution securing 220+ devices, and manage a portfolio of 12,000+ IT assets through a web-enabled inventory system. I also led server virtualization upgrades that reduced unplanned downtime by 30%.

Earlier, as an Information Technology Associate at Chemonics International Inc., I delivered level 1 and 2 support and automated software deployment, reducing installation time by 60%. At DRD-Fix, I built an automated daily business reporting system with remote access.
