What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that allows me to grow in cybersecurity, where I can apply my skills and contribute to enhancing IT security.

I am an ICT professional with a strong foundation in computer maintenance, operating systems, networking, and technical support. Currently, I am expanding my expertise in cybersecurity through a Cisco Online Course for Ethical Hacking. My commitment to continuous learning and proactive problem-solving drives me to enhance IT security and efficiency.

During my internship at Camara Education Kenya, I provided hardware support and system upgrades for digital learning centers. I also configured secure computer networks and offered user support to improve digital literacy. My academic projects have further solidified my skills in installing operating systems and troubleshooting system errors.

I am recognized for my leadership qualities, effective communication, and methodical approach to problem-solving. I am eager to embrace emerging cybersecurity trends and contribute to a team that values innovation and security.
