What I'm looking for

I seek hands-on IT roles where I can manage networks, secure systems, support field data collection, mentor staff, and contribute to reliable, scalable operations.

I am a dedicated IT professional with hands-on experience in field-level technical support, network configuration, and system administration across public and private sectors. I have implemented and maintained secure data collection systems, configured network infrastructure, and trained peers to ensure reliable operations for large-scale surveys and organizational needs.

I have a BTech in Computer Technology and practical experience as an IT Field Officer, Information Systems Manager (National Service), and IT Technician, where I led backups and recovery, malware protection, hardware installs, and remote support to minimize downtime and protect data integrity.
