Moses Lubwama
@moseslubwama
Security-first IT Support Specialist specializing in network troubleshooting across Windows and Linux environments.
What I'm looking for
I’m an IT support professional focused on troubleshooting hardware, software, and network issues across Windows, Linux, and cloud-based environments. I diagnose and resolve system problems, configure and secure networks, and support end users with clear, patient communication—using a security-first mindset to reduce risk by catching phishing and misconfigurations and applying good backup and access-control hygiene as standard practice.
Since 2022, I’ve provided System & Security Support (Freelance) by diagnosing and resolving issues for individuals and small setups and improving day-to-day reliability. I’ve also built a Home Lab for systems, networking, and monitoring, and I’ve monitored and triaged 100+ simulated SOC alerts on TryHackMe to strengthen my diagnostic and root-cause instincts. My certifications include IBM Cybersecurity Analyst, TryHackMe SOC Level 1, and TryHackMe Junior Penetration Tester (with SAL1 in progress).
