What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a role where I can manage networks and systems securely—configuring LAN/WAN, troubleshooting quickly, and supporting reliable operations through preventive maintenance and clear user guidance.

I’m an IT professional and Network Administrator who brings hands-on experience across networking, cybersecurity, and system administration. I’ve supported LAN/WAN environments, configured network hardware, and helped keep critical services available and stable.

In my most recent role at WaterResourcesAuthority, I deployed and configured IT hardware across departments, performed preventive maintenance on workstations and servers, and supported system reliability. I also conducted security checks—malware scans and software updates—to protect sensitive organizational data.

At KenyattaNationalHospital, I assisted with installing computer hardware while ensuring compliance with hospital IT standards. I provided user support for the hospital’s management system, performed virus/malware/spyware scans and removals, and handled routine troubleshooting for printers and other equipment.

Earlier at Kenya Airport Authority - Wilson Airport, I supported maintenance of the airport’s LAN/WAN, helped with server configuration and updates, and contributed to database backups and integrity checks. I’m Ccna-certified (1, 2, 3) and I enjoy turning technical documentation and troubleshooting into clear, practical guidance for users and teams.
