CS Lecturer | Functional Consultant (PeopleSoft Campus Solution) | VB.NET Developer | Information Security Specialist
I am a passionate lecturer and a keen researcher. I published 10+ research papers in several top international peer-reviewed journals and conferences. I have 13+ years of experience as a lecturer. I believe academia and Industry complement each other. Therefore, I am always eager to apply my knowledge to practical projects. For instance, between june 2010 to october 2012, I joined the National Information Centre, Sudan in the capacity of an information security engineer. We managed to deploy a successful pilot Public Key Infrastructure with all of its essential components (CA, RA, OCSP) using the EJBCA. Moreover, we configured the directory server using OpenLDAP and drafted the CP and the CPS. Furthermore, we have conducted many presentations to several stakeholders.

After that my industrial career shifted towards administering the PeopleSoft Campus Solution. Since october 2012, I joined the technical team responsible for maintaining the PeopleSoft Campus Solution in Imam Abdulrahman bin Faisal University.  My contributions include requirement analysis, functional design, testing, and post-production support of PeopleSoft Campus Solution. During this period, I acquired good experience on most of the PeopleSoft Campus Solution modules. This includes Campus Community, Recruitment and Admissions, Student Records, Self-Services, Academic Advisement, Student Financials, and Query Manager.

Apart from that, I am a passionate VB.NET developer. I developed several database systems that are currently used to maintain the business process for several clients. Although I am a competent VB.NET developer, I have strong knowledge of several other programming languages. This includes C++, Java, and PHP.

I am currently working on my Ph.D. in Computing at the University of Technology, Malaysia (UTM). My research area is cryptography. I am working on designing a dynamic encryption algorithm that is capable of mitigating non-generic attacks.

Freelance
I am a passionate VB Developer. During the last 15 years, I have developed several database applications for several clients on a freelance basis. The tools used are VB.NET, SQL Server, and Crystal Reports. The systems developed include:

Scholarship Database, Imam Abdulrahman bin Faisal University: Used to track the records of Imam Abdulrahman bin Faisal University teaching staff members (scholars) who traveled abroad to further their education. The system generates several reports and statistics. It also archives the scholars' documents, and send them email notifications.

Accounting System, Ministry of Agriculture: The system is used to calculate the pay of the employees according to their wages, allowances, attendance, vacations, and other criteria. I was in charge of the reporting module.

Training System, Nile Petroleum Company: This system has been designed to assist the Head of the Training Unit in identifying the training needs for the Nile Petroleum Company. Every manager will fill a survey, one survey for every member on his or her team. The questionnaire is designed according to the company's requirements to identify the staff training needs. The system analyzes the responses and suggests specific training programs accordingly.

Successfully installed and operated a Pilot National Public Key Infrastructure (PKI). After thorough research, my team and I decided to use Enterprise Java Beans Certification Authority (EJBCA) to configure the Certification Authority (CA) server. Moreover, we have constructed the OCSP Responder and the Registration Authority (using the same software). Furthermore, we configured the directory server using a reputable LDAP implementation called OpenLDAP.

Besides, we performed several presentations, and pieces of training to stakeholders, administrators, and users. I also prepared detailed documentation about all the technical details related to my scope.
