Summary

Currently I'm a Specialist in Geographic Information System (GIS) and
care taker for GIS manager position in the same department where we
are responsible of the GIS systems. I was leading 3 teams of 16
employees (Documentation (4 employees), Plant Protection (7
employees), GIS (5 employees)) as a team leader supervision team in
all governorates of the Sultanate of Oman. With that team we achieved
an excellent rate of performance every year where was exceeding the
required rate. Also, I managed 5 projects assigned by the high

to develop the supervision team section. I have a good relationship
with all Excavation Permit & GIS entities and based on that Omantel
nominated me to be a focal point with Muscat Municipality of the
digital system project (Muscat No Objection Certificate (NOC) Solution).
