What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that offers opportunities for growth and stability in IT operations.

As an experienced IT Technician with over 5 years of hands-on experience, I have developed a strong foundation in supporting hardware, network, and system administration in high-demand environments. My journey has equipped me with extensive skills in computer hardware repair, server setup, and network cabling, which I have applied in various roles, including my current position as an ICT Support Officer at Kokopo PMU.

Throughout my career, I have successfully managed IT infrastructure, provided frontline support to over 50 users, and maintained accurate asset records. My technical expertise extends to Windows Server, Active Directory, and endpoint security, complemented by my training in Cisco Networking and certification in Cybersecurity Fundamentals. I am passionate about contributing to stable IT operations and infrastructure growth, particularly in a Senior IT Officer role at K92 Mining Inc.
