OmanWhat I'm looking for
I am a dedicated cybersecurity specialist with a robust foundation in information security, networking, and software engineering. Currently, I serve as an IT Executive at a leading retail group in Muscat, where I manage system upgrades, provide technical support, and oversee IT infrastructure. My expertise lies in cybersecurity protocols, network defense, risk assessment, and troubleshooting, which I apply daily to ensure the security and efficiency of our operations.
In my current role, I lead the replacement and upgrade of IT systems across retail stores and malls, ensuring minimal downtime and efficient IT operations. My previous experience as a Host Apartment Manager at Airbnb honed my customer service, organization, and communication skills, which I believe are essential in any tech-focused role. I am now seeking a new opportunity that allows me to advance my career in a cybersecurity-focused position where I can apply and expand my expertise.
