Ensuring Optimal IT Infrastructure Performance Through Comprehensive Hardware Maintenance

As a technical support specialist, I have led computer hardware maintenance projects for several large organizations with distributed operations.

Kenya Ports Authority (KPA) Maintenance

I was responsible for the computer hardware maintenance needs of KPA's Nairobi and Kisumu branches, spanning over 450 nodes. Upon contract initiation, I conducted a thorough audit of all devices, creating a detailed inventory documenting specifications, purchase dates, and service records.

On a routine basis, I performed maintenance checks on all PCs, servers, printers and peripherals. This involved cleaning interiors, checking for loose cables/connections, verifying cooling fan operation, and assessing physical condition. Hardware benchmarks were run to identify any underperforming devices.

Repairs were carried out for issues like defective power supplies, faulty ports, non-functional buttons/keys, and failing storage drives. Replaced components were matched to original specs. Comprehensive testing verified all repair work.

Regular software updates optimized performance for applications and improved security posture. Custom scripts automated routine update/patch deployment. User training materials upskilled staff on utilizing new features.

Housing Finance Corporation Maintenance

For HFC's nationwide branch network, I implemented a preventative hardware maintenance program. Trend analyses from monitoring tools proactively flagged anomalies before failures occurred.

Strategic spare parts stocking based on failure histories reduced downtimes. Custom remote administration interface streamlined remote troubleshooting and repairs. Customizable client portal empowered staff with self-help tools.

Upgrades to unified imaging ensured rapid deployment of configuration/application bundles. Performance benchmarking validated infrastructure scalability for business growth.
