About Samy

With 8 years of experience in systems, networks, security, and project management, I am seeking SI security assignments.
I offer my services for a rate of €550 HT/day for a minimum duration of 6 months.
I have strong technical skills in Windows or Linux environments and wish to work in study or operational roles on various integration, administration, management, and implementation projects for security solutions against threats and cyberattacks.
With good written and oral communication skills, I am comfortable creating procedures, documentation, best practices, and training.
I have had the opportunity to work with many vendors with whom I maintain contact to stay informed about new security products and to be trained easily.
Calm by nature with good stress management, I have excellent analytical skills and can quickly resolve major technical incidents that occur more often than one might think...
I can work in AGILE project mode, in a team, or independently with good interpersonal skills.
Bilingual in English, I can work in an international environment and potentially travel occasionally if the client requests it.
I remain available for any further discussion.
