About

An IT professional who speaks both tech and business

I'm a versatile IT professional who has spent more than two decades keeping enterprise technology reliable and making it work for the people who depend on it. My career spans hands-on infrastructure and networking, .NET application development, and deep involvement in the business operations those systems support.

Over a 12-year tenure at Intel Corporation, I progressed from a front-line warehouse role to a seasoned System Analyst — working across IT, warehouse, material, and inventory management. That arc gave me something many specialists lack: the ability to see how a server, a network, an application, and a business process all fit together.

Today I operate as a System & Network Administrator and .NET Programmer in Riyadh, where I own infrastructure end to end — cloud, firewalls, VPNs, virtualization, email, backup, and the homegrown tools that fill the gaps off-the-shelf software leaves behind. I'm equally comfortable in a server room, a SAP session, or a code editor.

What I bring is breadth with depth: the judgement to keep systems stable, the curiosity to automate what's manual, and the operational fluency to translate between technical and business teams.
