I keep critical systems running - and attackers out.

With a Bachelor's in Computer Science & AI from Benha University and hands-on experience across help desk, ISP support, and enterprise sysadmin roles, I have built a full-stack view of IT infrastructure - from patching endpoints to hardening firewalls.

Currently at Star Egypt, I manage a Windows Server environment that includes Active Directory, Group Policy, Microsoft Dynamics AX 2012 ERP, and a Sophos-protected network. I own the Veeam backup and disaster recovery strategy for the organisation.

I am actively expanding into cloud infrastructure and DevOps - because the future of systems administration is hybrid.

What I've Built

VeeamWindows ServerPowerShell

Enterprise Backup & Disaster Recovery

Problem: No automated backup strategy - manual processes risked data loss and extended recovery times.

Solution: Designed and configured Veeam Backup & Replication with automated job scheduling, off-site retention policies, and documented recovery validation procedures.

Result: Full data protection across all critical systems with tested RTO/RPO compliance and zero data loss incidents.

Automated User Onboarding System

Problem: Manual user provisioning was slow, inconsistent, and regularly caused permission errors on day one.

Solution: Built a PowerShell script that provisions AD accounts, assigns security groups, configures permissions, and applies GPO - triggered on HR request.

Result: Reduced onboarding time by approximately 60% and eliminated day-one permission errors entirely.

System Health Monitoring Dashboard

Problem: No proactive visibility into CPU, disk, or memory pressure - issues were only caught after user complaints.

Solution: Developed monitoring scripts tracking resource utilisation across all servers, alerting on threshold breaches, and logging to a centralised daily report.

Result: Enabled proactive maintenance scheduling and significantly reduced unplanned downtime incidents.
