May 05, 2025

This image captures a quiet moment in the ICT Pool Office at Kenneth Kaunda International Airport, where I served as an ICT Officer on June 17, 2023. The caption, “The last known survivor stalks it’s prey in the night,” reflects the solitude and vigilance required during the night shift, a time when technical challenges often emerge under the cover of darkness. Dressed in my work attire, I took a brief pause to contemplate the tasks ahead, a snapshot of resilience amidst the demands of the role.

A Night of Duty

Working the night shift at the airport brought unique responsibilities. From monitoring systems to troubleshooting unexpected issues, every moment demanded focus. This photo, taken during a rare break, symbolizes the dedication needed to keep operations running smoothly, even when the world around me was asleep.

Lessons in the Quiet

The stillness of the night taught me patience and problem-solving. Whether it was resolving connectivity hiccups or ensuring system uptime, each challenge honed my skills, preparing me for the dynamic environment I navigate today as an L2 Support Engineer.

Reflection

This moment, frozen in time, reminds me of the strength found in solitude and the importance of staying alert. It is a testament to the early experiences that continue to shape my career, blending technical expertise with an unwavering commitment to service.
