What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that fosters innovation, encourages collaboration, and supports professional growth—open to any opportunity aligned with my expertise in solution architecture and enterprise systems.

I am a seasoned Solution Architecture Specialist with over a decade of experience in software development, including three years dedicated to solution architecture within the telecom sector. My expertise lies in designing enterprise-level solutions using Domain-Driven Design (DDD) and Open Digital Architecture (ODA), where I have successfully led API architecture initiatives and driven complex cross-team projects.

At Vanrise Lebanon, I spearheaded the transformation of the OSS/BSS suite into a modular monolith architecture, optimizing performance and scalability through innovative design. I am passionate about continuous improvement and actively expanding my skills in cloud technologies and microservices, having completed the AWS Cloud Practitioner training and conducted internal knowledge-sharing sessions to elevate team capabilities.
