About Candidate
I am a versatile IT professional with a strong foundation across the full technology stack. With over a decade of hands‑on Windows support, supplemented by Linux administration experience and dual NQF Level 5 diplomas in Systems Support and Systems Development, I excel at diagnosing and resolving hardware and software issues. My programming skills in C#, JavaScript, HTML, SQL, and Python enable me to automate tasks, develop custom tools, and streamline workflows. Through a year‑long Cybersecurity Specialization course and certifications in CompTIA Linux+ and Security+, I’ve built a solid grasp of threat analysis, SIEM principles, and practical attack simulations using Kali Linux. Calm under pressure and committed to continuous learning, I adapt quickly to new environments—whether troubleshooting at the desktop, configuring networks, writing scripts, or fortifying systems against emerging threats. I’m ready to deliver reliable support and drive innovation across any IT domain.
