What I'm looking for

I'm looking for remote work across EU or Gulf time zones where I can build and operate secure infrastructure, automate delivery, and deliver reliable systems for closed or mission-critical environments.

I've spent 12 years at the Military Technical College in Cairo, where I lead the network and DevOps team and run production infrastructure across networks, firewalls, Linux servers, containers, CI/CD, and monitoring.

I built and deployed an Arabic-first ERP and HR system for an air-gapped network, including hash-chained audit logs, automated installation, daily reports, and encrypted backups. I also led an internal closed-network platform for chat, file sharing, and group voice and video calls.

I operate enterprise LAN/WAN infrastructure, FortiGate and Cisco Firepower security controls, Docker, Kubernetes, GitHub Actions, Prometheus, Grafana, Security Onion, and Elastic Stack. I handle penetration testing, vulnerability assessments, and digital forensics alongside platform engineering.

My independent work includes Hyperledger Fabric document verification, Arabic-first hospital and education ERP products, and custom Odoo manufacturing modules. My master's research on blockchain, Kubernetes, IoT sensors, and UAV swarms has been published in two peer-reviewed IEEE papers.
