Keeping enterprise systems online, secure, and performing — across servers, networks, security, and cloud — for 13+ years in Dubai, UAE.
13+ years keeping infrastructure running
A hands-on generalist who owns the full stack of enterprise IT operations — from the server room to the network edge.
I’m a Senior IT Infrastructure Specialist based in Dubai, UAE, with over 13 years of hands-on experience managing the systems that businesses depend on every day.
My work spans Windows server administration, network device management, IT security, and cloud infrastructure — combined with day-to-day L2/L3 technical support, where issues get diagnosed and resolved rather than just logged.
I focus on stability, security, and uptime — the parts of IT that go unnoticed when they’re done right.
