About

Enterprise IT across an entire organisation

I'm Daniel Ekese Mwendi, a Network & IT Infrastructure Engineer based in Buea, Cameroon, serving as Manager of IT Centre PCC — the central IT unit of the Presbyterian Church in Cameroon (PCC).

My mandate spans the full breadth of PCC institutions — churches, hospitals, schools, woodwork centres, agricultural farms, and affiliated businesses including PRESMFI, where I also serve as CTO. I have also pioneered Starlink satellite internet deployment across 50+ rural and hard-to-reach communities, connecting hospitals, schools, churches, and digital libraries.

Beyond infrastructure, I hold a strong training and education background as an ICDL-certified trainer and tester, and former ICT Lecturer at PAID-WA in collaboration with ICM UK.

Open to relocation worldwide and actively seeking remote or international opportunities.
