Background &
Expertise
I am a Telecommunication and Information Engineering student at Dedan Kimathi University of Technology with a proven track record across network engineering, hardware prototyping, and data analytics.
Holding a CCNA certification from Cisco, I bring hands-on expertise in structured cabling — from fibre optic termination and splicing to Cat5/Cat6 deployments in enterprise environments. I complement this with deep skills in circuit simulation, PCB design, and embedded systems.
I am actively seeking engineering internships where I can contribute to real-world telecommunications infrastructure and communication challenges.
