About

I turn business problems into secure, practical systems.

I am an IT Manager with more than 14 years of experience across enterprise IT operations, infrastructure, cybersecurity, Microsoft cloud, business applications and automation.

My advantage is working across business, infrastructure and software at the same time. I can understand an operational problem, design the workflow, choose the right technology, manage the implementation and support adoption after launch.

Outside my day job I co-founded and run a cross-border e-commerce business in Egypt, the UAE and Saudi Arabia, so I know operations from the owner's side too: orders, payouts, reconciliation and the reports that actually matter.

I work in English and Arabic.
