Careers

After graduating from the Department of Computer Engineering at the Faculty of Engineering, University of Tripoli, I began my professional career as an Information Technology Engineer at Giga Telecommunications and Technology Company. There, I gained valuable practical experience in telecommunications, information systems, and IT infrastructure.

In 2019, I joined the Ministry of Labour as a Network and Information Security Engineer. During this period, I further developed my technical and professional skills while working within a sophisticated governmental environment, with a particular focus on computer networks and information security.

Alongside my professional career, I pursued postgraduate studies at the Libyan Academy, specializing in Information Technology, and obtained my Master’s degree in 2022.

Following the completion of my Master’s degree, I worked from 2022 to 2024 as an Adjunct Lecturer at several colleges, where I taught a variety of courses in computing, computer networks, and information security. This experience significantly strengthened my academic background and teaching expertise.

Subsequently, I joined the Faculty of Information Technology as a faculty member and was appointed to the Department of Software Engineering as an Assistant Lecturer. I currently continue to fulfill my academic and teaching responsibilities, contributing to the education and professional development of students in programming, computer networks, and software engineering.

Research Interests

My research interests focus on several key areas within computer networking and communication technologies, including:

• Network Analysis and Design: Investigating advanced methodologies and tools for analyzing and designing computer networks to achieve high levels of efficiency, performance, and reliability.

• Network Security: Exploring contemporary cybersecurity threats, studying security mechanisms and cryptographic techniques, and investigating effective approaches to detecting, preventing, and mitigating cyberattacks.

• Cloud Networking Technologies: Examining how cloud-based networking technologies can be leveraged to enhance operational efficiency and flexibility, optimize resource allocation, and improve data integration.

External Activities

After obtaining my Bachelor’s degree, I dedicated several years to developing my professional skills and practical experience in the fields of telecommunications and information technology. During this period, I worked with several organizations across both the public and private sectors, undertaking various roles, including Information Technology Engineer, Network Engineer, and Information Security Engineer.

These professional experiences enabled me to apply my academic knowledge in real-world work environments, strengthening my practical understanding of computer networking, security mechanisms, and IT infrastructure. They also enhanced my ability to bridge the gap between theoretical knowledge and practical application, which has directly influenced my teaching approach and the way I guide and support students.
