Detail-oriented IT Support Technician with a passion for problem-solving.
What I'm looking for
I am a highly organized and detail-oriented IT Support Technician with over four years of hands-on experience in desktop support and network management. My journey began with a National Senior Certificate, followed by various certifications, including Computer Technician (A+) and Network Technician (N+), which have equipped me with a solid foundation in IT.
Currently, I work at Dupleix Liquid Meters Flow Control (Pty) Ltd, where I configure, update, and support Windows 10 and 11, Microsoft 365 products, and company-specific applications. My role involves managing user access on Active Directory and providing end-user support for over 400 users, ensuring smooth operations and minimal downtime.
Throughout my internships at Dart Aeronautical and Huntrex 116 Pty Ltd, I honed my multitasking and problem-solving skills, maintaining local networks and troubleshooting system failures. I am eager to leverage my technical proficiency and genuine passion for solving complex problems in a challenging IT role.
