Elijah Ics
@elijahics
English and IT professional who builds, trains, and supports systems to improve schools and operations.
What I'm looking for
I’m an English teacher with Jamii International Academy, supporting learners across GCSE, CBC, and 8-4-4 systems, and I’ve also worked as an English/CRE/IT teacher at multiple schools. I bring strong communication, lesson support, and a practical mindset to help students succeed while keeping classroom and learning resources organized.
Before teaching, I worked as a Programmer with Integrity Computer Solutions, where I handled analysis, design, and prototyping for new systems and support for existing ones. I developed and supported solutions such as BiasharaF1 (Point of Sale/Stock Control), MkahawaF1 (Hotel POS/Stock Control), Intelpay (payroll), Transit-F1, Cargo-F1, and more—plus Quickbooks-based stock control integration; I also wrote a data-mining program on headquarter vs. branch stock ordering versus receipts that was adopted to improve warehouse/branch operations.
I’ve also supported organizations through IT roles, including working as a Regional IT Assistant (Mombasa Region) and later as a Help Desk Assistant and Warehouse IT Administrator. I’m comfortable training users on Microsoft Office and POS-I-Till workflows, providing network and hardware support, and using environments like Microsoft Windows Server and Novell Netware with a focus on reliable, usable systems.
