@israelgachara
I support enterprise IT, build web applications, and strengthen cybersecurity operations.
What I'm looking for
I've supported 100+ enterprise users at Nyeri Water and Sanitation Company, built Python automation that removed manual reporting work, and created troubleshooting guides that reduced repeat tickets.
At Griffin Global Technologies, I supported an AI-powered travel platform through data validation, feature testing, bug documentation, and QA collaboration. I also built and deployed a production real estate website for a US-based client and continue developing AI cybersecurity and mobile application projects.
