“Shereef was one of the best members of my team at Emitac. His dedication to his work, loyalty to his company and customer focus had helped us get new customers as well as to retain them. He is straightforward, cooperative and technically brilliant and able to work in a team or lead a team of his own, in sensitive and time critical projects. He is always up to date with the latest trends in technology and industry. His enthusiasm, passion for technology and on the job performance had positive influence on other team members. At Emitac, he was promoted after the first year, for his exceptional performance. I wish him best of luck in his future ventures and highly recommend him to all prospective employers.”
About
Informal Text
------------------
I don't know everything. I don't have every certification, knowledge of every standards, experience in every area. What I've learned and what I've known, I have not been able to apply them all, all the time. What I consider my skill is in being able quickly adapt, learn, analyze and decide.
Jack of most things Technology & Security; Master of None! The only master is fate!
Continuous, Hands-On Learner. Reads only the basics, likes to Think, Rationalize, Analyze, Reduce Error while trialing. Don't believe books have made someone an expert.
Challenge me with facts. Or, Convince me with the Need. Don't BS me.
If you have a strategy, I will be your captain… if not, I will end up a technician. Technician is not the role I’m looking for. I like to build resilience. It cannot be built without strategy.
I like to work on exciting projects for companies that are as excited to do those projects and see it succeed.
Where my role is valuable to the organization, and I’m evaluated by qualified people continuously.
Challenging… as in challenged by intellectuals in the field or challenged by a problem
Left Mechanical Engineering for computers... haven't regretted ever!
Started from the absolute bottom of IT at the beginning of the technology boom. That exposure and experience and clarity of concepts is my strength… to do… to learn… to contribute… and to succeed!
