The story behind by first job
While pursuing my bachelor’s degree, I wanted to diversify my professional experience by entering the media industry. A field I have long been passionate about. Driven by a deep interest in filmmaking, I seized the opportunity to work in video production to gain hands-on technical experience and broaden my career prospects ahead of graduation.
My experience as a Founder
I develop and oversee the company’s strategic vision, build and maintain relationships with customers, and partners, and identify growth opportunities and partnerships. I lead the creation and execution of marketing, sales, and operational strategies, represent the company publicly to communicate our values and mission, and ensure we operate within legal and ethical guidelines.
My experience as a DPO
I supported Data Controllers across the GCC in meeting their obligations under the Personal Data Protection Law by monitoring internal compliance, advising stakeholders on privacy governance and policies, and maintaining and validating data registers and processing activity records. I oversaw privacy impact assessments and automated decision‑making registers, identified and helped manage privacy risks, reviewed contractual privacy clauses, and assessed new or updated products and services for PDPL and compliance implications.
My experience as a IS & DPO
I oversaw management communications and quarterly community meetings, developed and enforced security strategies and hardening guidelines aligned with PCI‑DSS, CIS, NIST, and ISO 27001, managed the vulnerability program and continuous monitoring to detect and remediate incidents. As the Data Protection Guardian, I ensured compliance with data protection regulations, conducted BIAs, PIAs, and risk assessments, and managed access controls. I also developed cybersecurity policies and frameworks, coordinated vulnerability and patch management with IT, supported business continuity planning, and assisted with environmental monitoring and incident response.
My experience in BENEFIT
I conducted network assessments and enforced regulatory and security standards (PCI‑TSP, PCI‑DSS, NIST, ISO 27001) while managing security tools (firewalls, routers, switches, WAF, LTM) and integrating devices with SIEM for anomaly detection. I performed firewall and access reviews, remediated VAPT, ACL and configuration issues, evaluated new cybersecurity technologies, and led network and datacenter migrations and connectivity projects, including MPLS and BGP links with local and global partners.
My experience as a Cameraman
I participated in the production of live events and TV shows, ensuring seamless filming, adherence to technical specifications, and the capture of high-quality footage. I utilized advanced video editing techniques to enhance storytelling and visual appeal, collaborating with cross-functional teams to deliver impactful productions. Additionally, I managed the end-to-end recording process, from ensuring live event continuity to executing post-production refinements that aligned with professional broadcast standards.
