About

I am a System/Network Administrator with experience as a Certified Data Protection Officer and Certified Cybersecurity professional. My career began with an IT internship, where I translated databases and handled hardware and software installations. I also ensured data integrity by backing up information and resolving technical issues for users.

I later worked as an Enrollment Officer, assisting with the registration of vulnerable populations into a health insurance database, which expanded my understanding of data management in various contexts.

In my role as a System Administrator, I honed my skills further, although specific details weren't highlighted in my resume. My position as a Technical Assistant allowed me to identify network issues, supervise third-party installations, and provide daily support for software and hardware concerns. I implemented security measures to protect IT resources and managed IT inventory, while also training staff on new technologies.

Currently, I am working as a System/Network Administrator in ICT Services, where I am responsible for setting up user devices and printers, configuring network equipment, and maintaining the server room. I perform daily checks, manage hardware replacements, and oversee equipment inventory, ensuring that the technology infrastructure operates efficiently and securely. My experience encompasses a range of IT functions, making me well-equipped to handle diverse challenges in system and network administration.

New users are coming in, and I tried connecting with other cybersecurity professionals but immediately hit a **Premium** paywall.

For a growing platform, putting a core networking feature behind a paywall from the start may discourage users before they experience the platform's value. Consider allowing free connections, then reserve Premium for higher limits or advanced features.

Just my two cents, I think it would make onboarding much stronger.
