My history in IT goes back to the days when we used floppy disks for file transfers. From the day I first touched a computer, I was always keen about learning new things in technology. After my G.C.E. A/Ls I followed an IT degree to find new opportunities related to the field. I obtained the Higher Diploma in IT fromUCSC in 2014 but could not find a job. After so many attempts and unsuccessful interviews at private sector companies, finally I was able to get a job as a Management Service Officer at a government office. Even though it is a non-IT related job, I was assigned to manage entire fleet of computers and LGN network atthe office.
