Diploma, SAP Enterprise Portal 6.0 Technology Consultant

Bachelor's degree, Computer & Information Systems Engineering

The initial 2 years taught us the basics of computers and some basic languages such as C and C++. The end of the 3rd year enabled me to confine myself to go for the track of my interest. I decided to go for Networks(Development from scratch to conforming with the problems heaved by terminal users), and Hardware development. My final year project was; "The implementation of Intel's 8085 microprocessor using Verilog HDL". I am a good practiser and have been well-known in convincing my teachers technically throughout my academic career.

My instructor there was impressed by my result in the final exam and he asked me to go for C.C.N.P. and C.C.I.E. and even on the application side like SAP ERP modules but the lack of time did not allow me to do so. Now, I can finance myself for any application program the recruiters may require as I try to be as honest and loyal as I could be to the side I commit my promise to.
