What I'm looking for

I seek IT roles where I can manage systems, improve reliability, train users, and support cross-functional teams in a collaborative, impact-driven environment.

I am a detail-oriented, tech-savvy Information Technology professional with experience implementing and maintaining IT solutions, delivering end-user support, and coordinating technical operations across national organizations. At the Kenya Golf Union I led the World Handicapping System implementation, achieved 98% system reliability and 95% user adoption, maintained a centralized database of over 10,000 golfers, and trained administrators annually.

I combine strong technical troubleshooting, documentation and helpdesk skills with event coordination, stakeholder management and reporting experience. I produce clear technical documentation and user training, manage vendor relationships, and support cross-functional teams to deliver seamless events and operational efficiency.
