What I'm looking for

I'm seeking to drive efficiency and reliability in IT operations for a dynamic organization, supporting secure networks, resolving technical issues quickly, and helping teams use technology effectively.

At Afrisend Money Transfer Limited, I support end users, secure and optimize networks, manage access permissions, and help develop remittance products and platforms for partners and clients. Previously at Murban Movers, I resolved day-to-day ICT issues at a 95% resolution rate and contributed to a 15% improvement in overall system efficiency.

I've deployed routers, switches, and firewalls, maintained systems across Windows, Linux, and macOS, and supported Odoo ERP implementation and user training that increased proficiency by 25%. My cybersecurity training covers SOC operations, OSINT, threat intelligence, vulnerability management, OWASP Top 10, and penetration testing.
