@miketawonezvi
I build reliable telecom and fiber networks that minimize downtime.
What I'm looking for
At TelOne Zimbabwe, I install, configure, maintain, and upgrade voice and data telecommunications networks for backbone and corporate clients. I work across Cisco routers and switches, firewalls, servers, access points, copper, and fiber infrastructure, including the Chitungwiza LTE Project.
I deploy and splice GPON/FTTx fiber networks, perform OTDR testing, terminate fiber at client premises, and support live network maintenance. My work reduced connectivity-related service callbacks by 25%, increased data transfer speeds by up to 40%, and resolved 70% of reported incidents remotely.
Previously, I led customer support at Liquid Home Zimbabwe and supported WiMAX and NOC operations at Telecontract. I enjoy diagnosing complex network faults, improving uptime, mentoring junior technicians, and delivering clear technical support to customers.
