Isaac Ayanda

Isaac has been actively working as a solution-driven Webmaster at Jethro Limited and Premier Foundation over the last 6 years. He started out managing only the corporate website for Jethro Limited. After two years, other three product websites were added to his portfolio and he developed appealing UI mock-ups for in-house web application development. Having determination and persistence in problem solving, collaboration and being a fast learner are some of my strongest skills. In my recent Devops Engineer apprenticeship, I implemented more than 20 projects within 7 months and completed the AWS Certified Solutions Architect Associate certification.

I seek to deliver value that impacts positively on customer experience and satisfaction.
