Early-career IT Support and Systems Administration practitioner based in Lagos, Nigeria. I work hands-on with Windows and Linux systems, PC hardware, local networks, recovery, virtualization, and user support. I am CompTIA Security+ certified and currently preparing for CompTIA A+ Core 1.
My longer-term direction is IT Support → Systems Administration → Infrastructure / DevOps, with an increasing focus on systems automation.
- Troubleshooting Windows and Linux systems in real user environments
- Windows Server and Active Directory practice in personal labs
- Networking fundamentals, diagnostics, DNS/DHCP, LAN/Wi-Fi, and packet analysis
- KVM/QEMU and libvirt virtualization
- AWS infrastructure through practical deployments
- Bash and PowerShell fundamentals for repeatable administration
- Documentation, validation, and recovery-first troubleshooting
Deployed PrestaShop using an Ubuntu EC2 web/application server and a separate Amazon RDS MySQL database. Configured security-group-restricted EC2-to-RDS connectivity, Apache/PHP, SSH access, and database permissions. During installation, diagnosed an out-of-memory failure that caused Apache workers to be killed and resolved it with persistent swap before verifying the deployment.
Built a multi-node lab with KVM/QEMU and libvirt using Windows Server, Windows 11, and Linux guests. Practised Active Directory, users/groups, Group Policy, virtual networking, service troubleshooting, and permissions.
Used a bridged Kali Linux VM to discover hosts on a home network, troubleshoot subnet and reachability issues, enumerate services, and document the reasoning behind each step.
Built a validation-first toolkit for maintaining structured Anki study material, including Python validators, synthetic fixtures, tests, and migration documentation. The project reflects the same approach I try to use in systems work: audit first, preserve data, make controlled changes, and verify the outcome.
Alongside labs, I provide freelance IT support for individuals and small clients, including hardware/software troubleshooting, OS installation and recovery, file migration, backups, peripherals, and basic network issues.
I also support live AV and technical operations at RCCG GSP, where I work with presentation, broadcast, display, cabling, and network-connected systems under live-service conditions.
I prefer a simple troubleshooting loop:
understand the problem → collect evidence → isolate the cause → make the smallest sensible change → verify → document
GitHub is both a portfolio and a learning log. Some repositories are polished projects; others document experiments, mistakes, troubleshooting, and what I learned from them.
