What I'm looking for

I seek an entry-level role combining telecommunications and software development where I can contribute to reliable network and aviation systems, learn from senior engineers, and grow technical skills in cloud, automation, and web technologies.

I am an entry-level Telecommunication and Information Engineer with hands-on internship experience across telecommunications, aviation CNS systems, and enterprise networking. I combine a formal BSc in Telecommunication and Information Engineering with a Software Engineering certificate from Moringa School and AWS Cloud Practitioner certification, and I have practical experience monitoring network infrastructure, troubleshooting HF/VHF and RADAR/ADS‑B systems, and developing automation scripts and SQL optimizations.

I am proactive, learn quickly, and perform well independently or in team settings under pressure, having contributed to incident documentation, RCA reports, network configuration tasks, and reduced database query times and remote-troubleshooting effort through Python and SQL scripting. I seek to apply my mixed telecommunications and web-development skill set to support reliable communications systems and deliver software-enabled network solutions.
