In 2022, I led a project in collaboration with external vendors to upgrade our security infrastructure. We replaced the outdated door access system with a modern biometric solution and upgraded the old CCTV system to a 4K model, ensuring full coverage with no blind spots during installation.
Additionally, we deployed a Cisco Wi-Fi 6 system with multiple VLANs to effectively segregate guest and staff access, enhancing both security and network performance.
In 2020, I conducted a successful Business Impact Analysis (BIA), which involved collaborating with department heads to identify key processes within each department. Following this analysis, we assigned priorities, assessed potential losses, outlined IT requirements, and established the Recovery Point Objective (RPO) and Recovery Time Objective (RTO) for each process.
Based on the findings from this BIA, we developed a comprehensive Business Continuity Plan (BCP) and Disaster Recovery (DR) testing policies and procedures.
In 2018, I successfully restored 10-year-old data by creating a virtual network environment from scratch. This setup simulated legacy Windows versions and network infrastructure, including Windows 2003 servers and Exchange 2003 servers, ensuring compatibility with the recovered data.
Over the years, I have been involved in numerous server and Windows installations and migrations. One of the most significant projects I led was upgrading our core network from Windows Server 2003 to 2012 R2 in 2013. This also included migrating Exchange 2003 to 2013 through a two-step upgrade process, with Windows Server 2008 R2 and Exchange 2010 serving as transition phases.
In 2010, I was involved in the implementation of iMal, a Core Banking System developed by Path Solutions. The name "iMal" derives from the Arabic word for "money." At the time, it was the first Core Banking System designed to be fully compliant with Sharia law.
The system featured multiple modules, including accounting, HR, business development, asset management, and business intelligence. It was deployed on two high-availability servers to ensure reliability and performance.
In 2005, I was involved in installing a Redline WIMAX point-to-point link between two Xerox Bahrain branches, spanning a distance of approximately 5 kilometers. The project was successfully completed to the agreed specifications, enhancing the client's operational efficiency.
A particularly amusing challenge we faced during this project was an unexplained network disruption occurring daily between 10 AM and 12 PM. After a thorough investigation, we discovered that a nearby construction site was the culprit—multiple tower cranes were either being installed or actively moving, intermittently obstructing the signal and disrupting the link.
In 2004 - 2005, I was among the team who provided technical support for media center’s journalists and photographers at Bahrain International Circuit (BIC) in a range of high-profile events including F1, F3, Formula BMW World Final, and FIA GT Bahrain Supercar 500
