I am a highly experienced and qualified Information Technology professional with 30 plus years of exposure in IT strategy, IT Infrastructure and Operations Management, Information Security, Network & System Engineering, Software Development and Education and Training. I also pursued a successful career in the Business Process Management (BPM) sector and academic teaching during the last 20 plus years.

I have a very good knowledge of UNIX & LINUX and C language, and also proficient in Python, HTML, CSS, Javascript and Shell scripting which I teach for those from Beginner to Intermediate/Expert level. I also tutor EDEXCEL ICT and IT students sitting for O/L and A/L. Here, I focus on the success of the students by providing the required know-how to gain knowledge and confidence to face the exam in accordance with the UK curriculum. Students are encouraged to discuss with me, their subject matters, knowledge gaps and clarify any areas where they require attention. I also hep students to evaluate their knowledge strengths by providing questionnaires, sample past papers etc and provide feed back and additional support when required.
