For over 24 years, I have worked in the field of IT data networks, with extensive expertise in system design and development, implementation, as well as support for Windows servers in virtualized and cloud environments. Since 2000, I have been the Senior Systems Administrator at the Ministry of Finance, specializing particularly in high-availability systems, backup solutions (such as HP Data Protector, Veritas NetBackup, and Veeam), as well as managing Data Centers and Storage Area Networks (SAN), particularly with EVA, HP, and EMC equipment. In parallel with my role at the Ministry of Finance, I have been teaching part-time at several universities, including ESIB (Saint-Joseph University – Faculty of Engineering), NDU FE (Faculty of Engineering), and UA (Antonine University – Faculty of Engineering). I teach courses in Networking, Linux, Microsoft, Proprietary Systems, and Operating Systems. Since 2007, I have coordinated the Networking courses at Antonine University, and since 2020, I have also been coordinating the Linux courses, playing a key role in the academic management of these subjects. Committed to student support, I have been advising 5th-year students at the Faculty of Engineering at Antonine University since 2007. Additionally, I am a member of the Faculty of Engineering Council at the same university and serve as the Legal Main Contact" for the Cisco Academy at Antonine University. Thanks to this dual expertise, both academic and professional, I have developed a technical know-how and educational expertise that allow me to actively contribute to the training of future engineers and the development of information technologies in institutional and governmental contexts.
