In my previous role as an ERP Consultant & Branch Head at Olivo Technologies in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, I managed the company’s finances at the branch level, expanded the client base, and formulated strategies to improve overall fiscal discipline and profitability. I have a proven track record of managing a team of professionals engaged in marketing custom-made software products and servicing existing clients with a focus on improving their efficiency, finances, and profitability. I have hands-on experience with the .NET developer platform, C sharp programming language, and SQL domain-specific language. I have also led requirement collection from offshore clients through a series of online meetings and development of tailor-made software products meeting their needs. In my recent role as a Security Product Team Member at Miba, I was responsible for preparing hardening guidelines for server, network, and client devices. I also gained hands-on experience in scanning these devices using Rapid7 InsightVM and ensuring their compliance with the hardening guidelines. I was involved in creating tabletop exercises for the IT Department and developing micro-trainings for security awareness using Articulate. During my internship at Fachhochschule St. Pölten, I analyzed the Cyber Resilience Act and broke down the cybersecurity requirement by matching it with the applicable standard and their measures. I also designed a cyber tabletop exercise for a health organization and prepared preparatory material for building a cyber tabletop exercise.
