About Me

Passionate about driving digital transformation through technology that serves humanity

Building Technology That Matters

With over 20 years of experience in full-stack development, cybersecurity, and IT infrastructure management, I bridge the gap between complex technical challenges and real-world humanitarian needs.

As an IT Associate at UNHCR, I lead ICT operations across Northern Lebanon, developing innovative solutions that directly support refugees and displaced persons. My work ensures critical systems remain operational in challenging environments, enabling life-saving assistance to reach those who need it most.

I've consulted for Fortune 500 clients through GLG—including EMC, Johnson & Johnson, Qatar Industries, and Saudi Telecom—bringing enterprise-grade expertise to complex technology challenges while maintaining my commitment to humanitarian values.

A lifelong learner, blogger, and soon-to-be-published author on programming and networking technologies, I believe technology should empower people and transform organizations for the better.
