I am an Identity and Access Management (IAM) Specialist at Saudi Aramco, the world's leading oil and gas company. I hold a bachelor's degree in computer engineering from the Technical and Vocational Training Corporation (TVTC) with a strong foundation in network systems. In my current role, I'm responsible for managing Windows Active Directory and Exchange Servers for over 90,000 end-users and 30,000 service accounts. This involves handling high-volume tasks, such as setting group policies and controlling organizational units (OUs), as well as applying PowerShell scripting for AD administration and automation tasks. I also monitor privileged accounts and permission access by enforcing best practices and procedures. I enjoy collaborating with a diverse and talented team of IT professionals and am always eager to learn new skills and technologies to bring additional value to the company. I am passionate about enhancing the security and efficiency of the AD environments and providing excellent customer service to the end- users. My goal is to advance my career in the IAM field and pursue relevant certifications and accreditations.
