GambiaWhat I'm looking for
I've managed IT operations and infrastructure at The Competent Engineers since 2021, shaping client IT environments, querying databases for reports, and maintaining backup systems. My work includes disaster recovery, Oracle database backup storage, HSM key and certificate renewal, and CCTV backup monitoring for Vista Bank branches.
Previously, I deployed border-security servers, passenger kiosks, VPN connectivity with INTERPOL, and surveillance systems for SecurIPORT at Banjul International Airport. Across systems administration, network security, virtualization, and technical support roles, I've configured servers, firewalls, routers, open-source software, and client security solutions.
