What I'm looking for

I’m seeking an IT Officer role to apply cybersecurity, network administration, and hands-on technical support in a collaborative, security-focused organization that values impact and growth.

I am a resourceful IT professional with 3+ years of freelance experience supporting radio stations, construction firms, microfinance institutions, schools, and churches. I hold diplomas in Cybersecurity and System Engineering and certifications including CompTIA Network+ and Cisco Ethical Hacking.

I install, configure, and troubleshoot hardware, software, and networks, maintaining 98% uptime across 20+ client sites and resolving 95% of technical queries within 24 hours. I have repaired 500+ devices with a 90% success rate and completed authorized penetration testing that improved infrastructure security by 25%.

I specialize in penetration testing, vulnerability management, digital forensics, and network security, using tools such as Nmap, Wireshark, Nessus, and Metasploit.
