Chungu Ngolwe is a systems engineer for Zambia’s research and education network, ZAMREN.

Before joining the ZAMREN team in 2012, he graduated with honors from Greenwich University in the United Kingdom with a baccalaureate degree in Computing. He holds professional certifications from the Global Information Assurance Certification (GIAC-cybersecurity), Cisco and Microsoft, and has participated in multiple ZAMREN workshops. His work responsibilities include the setup and deployment of network services and solutions (including network monitoring, DNS, e-mail and web hosting) for ZAMREN member institutions.

As the project leader for the setup of Eduroam for the Zambian Federation, he facilitated workshops on campus network design, routing, switching and Eduroam. He recently assumed the role of HPC systems administrator, and supports the scientific applications that are run on ZAMREN’s parallel systems.

I look forward to networking with other professionals in Austin; the horizontal exchange will be useful for everyone. When I return home, I’ll be eager to share what I’ve learned with others at the Zambia Center so we can make the most of its computing resources.”
