KenyaWhat I'm looking for
At Kenyatta National Hospital, I deployed and managed critical health IT infrastructure supporting the data center, achieving 99.9% uptime for clinical and administrative systems. I also implemented ERP, HMIS, and LMIS systems to support hospital operations and patient care.
I reduced system downtime by 30% through server administration and virtualization, and implemented backup and disaster recovery protocols for electronic health data. I worked with government health IT leadership and coordinated infrastructure projects across departments and external vendors.
