I resolve complex Linux, hosting, network, and VoIP incidents while automating reliable support operations.
What I'm looking for
At Altima Telecom, I lead 15 technical support agents while handling complex Internet, VoIP, IPTV, VPN, DNS, routing, and remote-connectivity escalations. I improved FCR by 42% and SLA performance by 63% through stronger case tracking and callback ownership.
I've isolated service issues affecting thousands of customers, including an IPTV CDN misconfiguration and peak-time cable congestion. I also built FreePBX API and Google Apps Script automation that reduced VoIP credential lookups from minutes to seconds, and integrated GDMS with Salesforce to automate adapter provisioning.
Across Egypt-based IT infrastructure roles and freelance projects, I've built multi-site environments, deployed Windows Server and Active Directory, secured Linux VPS platforms, implemented VPNs and backup recovery, and completed cloud and email migrations with zero data loss.
