From 2002 to 2005, I had the opportunity to work as a junior technician for Analog Fixed Line phone service and Installations. During this period, I gained valuable experience in fault detection, troubleshooting, and implementing improvements to enhance the quality of materials and equipment used in installations. My primary responsibilities involved setting up analogue and digital 28.8kbps modems for ISP connections on various computer systems, including PCs and MACs, within the company NETANGOLA.

At NETANGOLA, I specialized in installing, repairing, and optimizing operating systems such as Windows 3.11 and Windows 95 specifically for internet connections through the NETSCAPE Browser. My focus was to ensure seamless and efficient browsing experiences for users. The expertise I acquired through my practical experience and problem-solving skills allowed me to contribute effectively to the company's operations.

Eventually, my proven track record and accumulated knowledge led me to be involved in an exciting new project called NEXUS, in collaboration with the Kenyan company AFSAT-iWayafrica. This partnership provided me with the opportunity to transfer my experience to a new setting and further broaden my skill set.

By the end of 2004, I transitioned to the role of a Junior VSAT Operator, marking a significant milestone in my career. In this position, I received specialized training in assembling 1.2m VSAT antennas equipped with 2Watt BUC and HUGHES DW2040 modems. As a field installer, I faced various challenges while installing antennas in diverse environments and infrastructures. This hands-on experience further strengthened my expertise in the field.

With my extensive knowledge in antenna installations, I started training and mentoring my colleagues, sharing my insights and best practices. This leadership role allowed me to transition from fieldwork to an internal position within the company. In this new capacity, I provided remote support to installation teams, ensuring the smooth execution of projects and maintaining a high level of customer satisfaction.

Building on this foundation, I continued to advance my career, delving deeper into the realm of Satellite Radio Frequency. I actively sought opportunities to expand my knowledge and stay updated with the latest developments in the field. This commitment to continuous learning and professional growth propelled me further in my career journey.

Overall, my experiences from 2002 to 2005 provided me with a strong foundation in telecommunications, network installations, and satellite technology. The diverse range of roles and responsibilities I undertook allowed me to acquire expertise in fault detection, troubleshooting, system optimization, and remote support. I am proud of my journey thus far and excited to continue expanding my horizons in the ever-evolving world of technology.
