Worked for 7 months as IT trainee as part of my studying curriculum that is required to graduate. I was working as database developer and help desk. I was involved in network administrating.
during my university studying, I was working for Lucent as their representative at King Fahd University of Petroleum and Minerals (K.F.U.P.M.). I used to do the organization work at the university and organize for the exhibitions that takes place in the university such as Career Day and Open Day.
It is the best university in Saudi Arabia and Middle East in Engineering and Industrial Management majors. I joint September 1997 after I finished my high school and took MIS major. I choose this major because of my love to the PC and because it combines between the management and the use of PC. I have graduated on 4/June/2002.
