Introduction
I am a highly motivated individual who strives for knowledge and wisdom. I truly enjoy learning new things and am excited about what the future has in store. In this regard, I am looking to find a calm region with a vast amount of opportunities to go there and working as an ICT security specialist and collect new experiences. So I have a lot of things to know in my stack and I’m going forward to make each of them a handful of experiences and put them in my expertise portfolio for better management of ICT Security policies and procedures of my employers in Victoria-Australia.

Professional Profile
Project and team leadership is one of my particular talents, and this will not happen except self-dedication and accurate communication with everyone on the team. I truly know how to do works based on my strong background on software and telecom fields.
It is part of my nature to know the technical details of every part of the project, so I spent more than half a decade to become a system engineer as well as the developer to do the things in my way. So here I am a DevOps with a strong management background. It sounds creepy, isn’t it!!

ICT services and security specialist
I worked in Iran-net FTTh operator. I was in the position of a specialist, and think of it you should outsource the projects partially with 3rd parties. Hence, it would be best if you learned the art of doing works with others’ hands, so you should start to plan the deployment and think more rather than deploy.
