Fikadu Senbeta
@fikadusenbeta
Data center technician focused on reliable infrastructure and fast problem solving.
What I'm looking for
I install, document, and maintain data center infrastructure, including servers, switches, and storage systems, while following proper rack and stack procedures. I also handle cable management for both fiber and copper connections, run preventive maintenance checks on racks and PDUs, and support on-call rotations for infrastructure alerts.
Before my current data center role, I performed decommissioning, installation, and networking work, including ISP troubleshooting and RJ45 termination, and I led a team of installations to complete projects on time. I bring a strong safety and incident-reporting mindset from my Security Officer Shift Supervisor experience, plus customer-focused communication supported by English, Amharic, and Oromo.
