Aspiring computer networks professional providing innovative networking solutions.
What I'm looking for
I am a dedicated and aspiring computer networks professional currently pursuing a Bachelor of Science in Computer Science at Dedan Kimathi University of Technology. My journey in technology began with a strong foundation in networking fundamentals and protocols, which I have further developed through various internships and projects. I am passionate about leveraging technology to create effective networking solutions that meet societal needs.
During my internship at the United States International University-Nairobi, I honed my skills in ICT support, troubleshooting network and system problems, and installing NEC handsets. Additionally, my experience in software development using JavaScript, HTML, CSS, and PHP has equipped me with the technical expertise necessary to contribute effectively in a professional environment. I thrive in collaborative settings and have demonstrated leadership skills as an Associate Editor in my school's Journalism & ICT Club, where I organized mentorship events and led the editorial team.
