Having been an IT hobbyist since 1982, I had the privilege of graduating in the first promotion of Computer and Communication Engineering (CCE) from AUB in 1988. Since then, I have taken on different ventures, starting with academic experience at AUB since 1986, teaching and assisting students. Professional experience varied in the IT field, from support to development to designing complete hardware and software solutions. One of the milestones I reached was when I got certified as OCP (Oracle Certified Professional) DBA, and a long experience with the technical and some functional aspects of Oracle E-Business Suite. Nowadays, I have reached a level which enabled me to have the vision to be the IT Consultant, working with Droguerie De L'Union, my former full-time employer, in addition to eMCRey SAL, a renowned software solutions provider, assisting in IT strategy, and providing the IT departments and clients with experience and technical know-how, with focus on IT infrastructure, Oracle Applications DBA services, middleware, and Linux systems... My latest achievements: ISC2 CC Certification, Google AI Professional Certification, and working on IBM Ethical Hacking Using Open Source Tools Certification.
