Jun 2021 - Present
As a leader in the IT department, I have accomplished various responsibilities, including overseeing the migration of Moodle LMS from AWS environment to Azure, implementing Business Continuity Planning (BCP) and Disaster Recovery (DR), and building multiple security measures and controls following NIST Cybersecurity Framework, ISO 27001, and ISO 27002 guidelines.Additionally, I regularly supervised vulnerability scanning and penetration testing, prepared the department budget, and strategically planned department operations. I also prepared and maintained IT manuals, policies, and procedures, ensuring the department adheres to SLAs for all service requests and support tickets.Moreover, I optimized the CAPEX to ensure optimum resource utilization and maximize benefits, while reducing the OPEX without impacting operations. Instead, I improved user satisfaction and stakeholders. Lastly, I planned department short and long-term plans for operations and new technologies, ensuring smooth and efficient department operations. Show less
