Resume Network and System Administrator in Saudi Arabia Riyadh

I’m an IT Infrastructure & Network Specialist with 8+ years of experience driving enterprise IT operations, network architecture, and cybersecurity initiatives. Currently at Imtiaz Group, I design and manage scalable multi-branch networks, virtualization platforms, and next-gen firewalls while ensuring high availability and security across operations. Previously, I supported Ghulam Faruque Group and Metro Cash & Carry, where I played key roles in maintaining 99.9% server uptime, leading SAP migrations, streamlining IT asset lifecycles, and deploying enterprise solutions like Active Directory, SCCM, and MMS. I started my career in hands-on desktop and network support, building a strong foundation in troubleshooting, asset management, and end-user support — skills that now help me deliver resilient IT infrastructures aligned with business needs.

I hold a BS in Computer Science from Dadabhoy Institute of Higher Education (2019), where I specialized in Wireless Communication, Networking, and Data Security. To further strengthen my technical expertise, I earned a Diploma in Software Engineering from Aptech Pakistan (2018), gaining hands-on skills in web development and programming (HTML, CSS, PHP, Java, ASP.NET, C++). Currently, I am pursuing an MS in Cybersecurity at SZABIST, focusing on Ethical Hacking, Network Pen-Testing, and Cloud Security to deepen my expertise in modern security practices. Alongside my formal education, I’ve completed Fortinet NSE (1–3), CCNA training, and a Cybersecurity Professional certification from NED, further aligning my knowledge with industry standards.

Over the years, I’ve built a strong technical skill set across networking, systems, and cybersecurity. My expertise includes designing and managing enterprise networks (Cisco, Huawei, HP, Ruckus, Mikrotik), securing infrastructures with Fortinet firewalls, and ensuring system reliability through VMware, Nutanix, Proxmox, and Hyper-V virtualization platforms. I’m proficient in administering Windows and Linux servers, Active Directory, SCCM, and enterprise applications, with hands-on experience in SQL Server backups, DR planning, and monitoring tools like PRTG, Zabbix, and OPManager. On the security front, I have practical knowledge of penetration testing, packet analysis, and threat monitoring, using tools such as Wireshark and Kali Linux. My foundation in software engineering also adds versatility, with exposure to HTML, CSS, and PHP.
