ZimbabweWhat I'm looking for
I am a seasoned IT Specialist with over 12 years of practical experience in managing and improving technology infrastructures. My proficiency spans network administration, system troubleshooting, CCTV, IT support, MFP printer support, and cybersecurity. I have a proven track record of enhancing operational efficiency and implementing technology solutions that align with business objectives.
Throughout my career, I have demonstrated success in team collaboration and a commitment to continuous learning in emerging technologies. At Nashua Zimbabwe, I managed network servers and technology tools, ensuring smooth operations while providing technical support to end-users.

In my earlier role as a Debtors Clerk and Administrator at C Gauche (PVT) Ltd, I not only managed accounts receivable but also served as the primary IT administrator. This dual role allowed me to develop a comprehensive understanding of both financial and technical aspects of business operations, further enhancing my problem-solving and analytical skills.
