What I'm looking for

I seek roles combining hands-on hardware repair and technical training in a supportive organization that values quality service, skills development, and measurable learner outcomes.

I am an experienced IT technician and trainer with a strong background in computer repairs, end-user training, and technical support. Over more than a decade I have delivered hardware diagnostics and repairs, software installation, and malware removal while mentoring junior technicians.

My career spans roles as a senior repair technician and multiple training positions where I designed curricula, developed self-paced manuals, and achieved consistently high pass rates for ICDL and Microsoft Office courses. I take pride in delivering prompt, professional service and measurable training outcomes.

I have led technical projects including establishing ICDL training programs, performing Windows Server administration tasks, and improving IT infrastructure at educational institutions. I consistently produced reporting, assessments, and ensured lab security and operational readiness.

I am proactive, detail-oriented, customer-service focused, and able to work independently or as part of a team. I look for opportunities where I can apply technical troubleshooting, training expertise, and leadership to improve service delivery and learner outcomes.
