What I'm looking for

I am looking for a dynamic role that allows me to leverage my IT skills while fostering professional growth and innovation.

I am a dedicated IT professional with a strong foundation in system administration and networking. My journey began with a Bachelor of Science in Information Technology from Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology, where I honed my skills in programming, software engineering, and operating systems. I have a proven track record of effectively managing IT systems and providing support to enhance operational efficiency.

Currently, I work at HOG Engineering LTD as a System Administrator, where I am responsible for the installation and programming of EDMI meters, networking, and website creation. My previous experience includes a national service role at the National Communications Authority, where I assisted with network operations and system usability. I am passionate about technology and continuously seek to improve my skills and knowledge in the field.
