What I'm looking for

I’m looking to support and secure reliable IT operations in a fast-paced environment—handling troubleshooting, system monitoring, and cybersecurity tasks while continuously learning and delivering dependable technical solutions.

I’m a motivated Information Communication Technology professional with over 3 years of hands-on experience providing IT support, troubleshooting systems, and implementing secure network solutions. I assist individuals and small businesses with hardware, software, and network configuration while keeping system security and performance a priority.

I specialize in Linux system administration and cybersecurity, using network diagnostics and automation scripting with Python and Bash. In my work, I’ve performed vulnerability scanning (Nmap, Gobuster), covered penetration testing basics (Metasploit), supported OS installation and malware removal, and delivered reliable helpdesk support—while continuously improving results through ongoing learning and AI-related training and data support tasks.
