I am a motivated Computer Science graduate with over two years of hands-on experience in data management, system administration, and IT helpdesk support. My journey in the IT industry has equipped me with a strong foundation in IT principles and a passion for continuous learning. I am eager to apply my technical knowledge and problem-solving skills to contribute to organizational objectives.

Currently, I work as a Linux Systems Administrator at Malawi Telecommunications Limited, where I have successfully installed and configured Linux-based operating systems, managed user accounts, and developed cron jobs to automate system tasks. My role involves ensuring optimal system performance and security while collaborating with colleagues to deploy and configure new servers.
