Information Technology TechnicianDar Alkafaa Company Aug 2005 - Nov 2007Benghazi, Benghazi, LibyaI started with Dar Alkafaa as an apprentice with the Technical Department, and I worked my way up to supervise the R&D Office,During my time as an IT Technician, I was working on refurbishing fax machines, copiers, printers, De La Rau banknote counters, and improving the Technical Support aspect of the company.As the company works on document storage solutions, there was a great opportunity to grow in the Libyan local market, and that is by integrating those (archiving) machines with a computer UI, something that I have introduced to the CEO early in 2007. The company then partnered with a manufacturer from Italy to win a multi-million dollar contract with a government organization in Libya to procure and install several hundreds of the Italian manufacturer's document storage and physical archive management depo.My achievements were:1. Introducing a ticketing system using a simple program to the Technical Support deprtment2. The computer UI integrated to the depos using a simple barcode reader for files was a selling point for the huge contract in 2007, where I delivered the presentation myself (receiving a nice bonus for the presentation).3. I introduced an idea to the Italian manufacturer, as I was part of a team along with the CEO, where we visited the manufacturer facilities, and before the visit I developed a proposal for the manufacturer to establish a factory in Libya (specifically Misurata where they got their materials from), and the selling point was: shorter supply chain, lower wages, less transportation and shipping costs. (they gave it some serious consideration before 2011).
