What I'm looking for

I seek a hybrid or remote role leading infrastructure and automation initiatives where I can improve uptime, implement CI/CD, mentor teams, and contribute to secure, reliable IT operations.

I am a results-driven IT professional with over six years' experience in system engineering, IT support, and helpdesk management, focused on ensuring stable, secure infrastructure and excellent end-user experiences.

At Turnkey Africa I led system engineering efforts including database installation and tuning, WebLogic and Oracle Fusion Middleware configuration, and automation using Bash, Jenkins, Docker, and Kubernetes to improve deployment reliability and uptime.

I have hands-on experience in Linux administration, VMware virtualization, networking (TCP/IP, TLS, load balancers), IT security measures, and scripting for process automation, paired with strong troubleshooting and SLA-driven helpdesk support.

I collaborate effectively across teams, liaise with vendors, and deliver user training and documentation; I am adaptable, detail-oriented, and available for hybrid roles with flexible schedules.
