Dishon Opati Shikuku

I am Dishon Shikuku, an experienced IT specialist, educator, and tech enthusiast with a passion for empowering others through technology. With a diverse background in ICT, teaching, and customer support, I have cultivated a deep understanding of how technology can enhance both educational and business environments. Currently, I work as a school IT specialist and computer tutor at Albstadt Helping Hands School, where I have over three years of experience managing IT systems, providing technical support, and teaching computer science to students ranging from Grade 6 to high school. I find immense satisfaction in helping students understand complex concepts like Data Representation and Data Security, areas in which I also offer online tutoring at affordable rates.

In addition to my teaching role, I have hands-on experience as an ICT specialist, sales executive, and Apple products repair technician. My professional journey has exposed me to a variety of fields, including network administration, IT systems management, and customer service. This has enabled me to develop strong troubleshooting skills and a problem-solving mindset, which I believe are crucial in today’s fast-paced technological landscape. I have also worked as a data entry clerk and in stock-taking roles, where I gained valuable insights into operational efficiency and attention to detail.

I hold a Diploma in ICT Management and a Certificate in Database Management and Computing Modules. Additionally, I have earned a White Belt Lean Six Sigma certification in AI, further equipping me with the skills to improve processes and workflows within an organization. My career has been marked by a drive for continuous learning, which I view as essential for staying ahead in an ever-evolving field like IT.

Outside of work, I am a devoted family man, married to Albright, and a proud father of two children, Mayson and Esperanza. My personal ambitions include learning how to drive and purchasing a brand-new car. I am also exploring opportunities to expand my career and further my expertise in areas such as project management and visa processing.

I am always seeking new opportunities to apply my skills and knowledge in impactful ways. Whether through teaching, technical support, or project management, my goal is to help organizations leverage technology to achieve their objectives and make a positive difference in the world.
