What I'm looking for

I seek a role that fosters growth, values community service, and allows me to utilize my IT skills effectively.

I am a passionate information technologist committed to serving both the community and the corporate world. My journey in IT began with a diploma from Mount Kenya University, where I honed my skills in troubleshooting, computer maintenance, and networking. I believe in adding value to organizations through my technical expertise and dedication.

During my field attachment at EquipAfrica Institute, I collaborated with the ICT team to resolve various IT-related issues, install new computers, and maintain hardware and software components. My experience as a Data Enumerator at REMIT KENYA further strengthened my data collection and analysis skills, allowing me to contribute effectively to research projects.
