What I'm looking for

I am seeking a placement or entry-level role in telecommunications where I can apply hands-on skills in network installation, maintenance, and support while learning from experienced engineers and contributing to reliable, secure connectivity.

I am a recent Bachelor of Technology graduate in Telecommunication and Information Engineering with practical experience in network installation, maintenance, and technical support gained through multiple internships and university attachments.

During my placements I worked on fibre, wireless systems, LANs, routers, switches, firewalls and PABX equipment, and practiced tools including MATLAB, Arduino, and Python while supporting network monitoring, testing and quality assurance.

I have provided first-level technical support, configured devices and servers, troubleshot hardware and connectivity issues, and collaborated with cross-functional teams to align telecom solutions with organizational needs.

I am forward-thinking, organized, and a strong team player with peer leadership experience as a course representative and peer mentor, now seeking a placement to apply and expand my telecommunications skills in a professional setting.
