Edwin Wanyoike

I am a final-year IT student at Kabarak University, graduating in December 2026. I am sharpening my coding skills in JavaScript, Python, and Rust, while also building a foundation in cybersecurity basics. Currently, I am gaining practical experience in networking and IT support through collaborative projects at Computer Pride Limited in Nairobi, where I help manage internet infrastructure and troubleshoot technical issues.

My measurable goal is to secure employment before graduation and transition into a full-time role immediately after, applying both my technical expertise and collaborative experience in IT support, business analysis, or operations.
