My journey in IT has been both diverse and rewarding, allowing me to grow from desktop support to leading technical roles and taking ownership of critical systems.

Currently at Stratech Technologies (Jan 2023 – Present)

I manage and support a range of systems including WordPress websites, Amazon S3 integrations, and DNS configurations via Cloudflare.

My role often involves working with global teams to ensure seamless SSO integration.

Previously at Phangela Group (Apr 2021 – Dec 2022)

I started on-site providing support across South Africa and Namibia, handling backups, firewall management, Office 365 tenant administration, and hardware repairs. Within 6 months, I was promoted to Head Helpdesk Engineer thanks to my performance and reliability.

At Digitot (Nov 2019 – Apr 2022)

I led the technical department in the Western Cape, taking 24/7 standby responsibilities for callouts, hardware servicing, software tweaks, and machine repairs. I also traveled both locally and internationally for hands-on technical support and training.

While with Berbou Maintenance (Apr 2021 – Dec 2022)

In this part-time site foreman role, I oversaw construction site tasks, managed procurement of tools and materials, and ensured quality control on-site.

I worked as a senior desktop and field technician, providing support to schools and clients across the country. I handled antivirus setups, domain management, cable installations, and Active Directory configurations.

Starting out at SBE (Sep 2015 – Mar 2016)

I installed biometric and turnstile systems, trained users on new software, laid network cabling, and kept track of technical stock. It was my first hands-on role in tech and where I laid the groundwork for my technical skillset.
