What I'm looking for
My name is Joseph Maswanganyi, and I am an IT technician with a strong foundation in computer repairs, software installation, and customer service. With a Matric Certificate and ongoing education in Cybersecurity from Cisco Academy, I have developed a comprehensive skill set that allows me to excel in various IT environments. My journey began as a Warehouse Assistant, where I honed my organizational skills, and progressed through roles in customer service and IT sales, ultimately leading me to my current position as a freelancer and IT technician.
Throughout my career, I have successfully built gaming laptops and computers, provided technology consultation services, and repaired hardware for various devices. My experience at Earthweb as an IT sales agent allowed me to develop strong negotiation and sales skills, while my current role at Sky Electronics has further enhanced my technical support capabilities. I am passionate about technology and dedicated to delivering exceptional service to my clients, ensuring their needs are met with precision and care.
