KISONA RICHARDS

Junior IT professional finishing a Computer Information Systems diploma, with hands-on experience in SQL, databases, authentication systems, and web development. I’ve built real projects from the ground up, including full login systems connected to databases, and I also worked in IT support through a co-op placement where I troubleshot booking software, maintained websites, and helped users with technical issues. I enjoy problem-solving, learning new tools, and supporting people. I am open to roles in IT Support, Technical Analyst, Cybersecurity, or Junior Database positions, while continuing to grow in the tech space.
