Description

I am Zineb, an engineer in information and communication systems. Having experience in network infrastructure, this has allowed me to have a microscopic and macroscopic view of different technologies at different stages: from audit, solution selection, design, and implementation. The most interesting part is working with these technologies, tools, and functionalities depending on the chosen solutions according to needs, mastering routing and switching protocols, data hosting, and storage architecture design, inter-site communications, VoIP solutions, ensuring security with firewalls, and supervising infrastructures using various market tools, and intervening for support and troubleshooting. Communication skills remain essential despite mastering any technology to ensure team coherence, effective progress, and customer satisfaction. These are the reasons why I insisted on developing my soft skills as well. I believe in a quote for my progress: To learn, to build and to make.
