Profile:
I am currently a teaching assistant in the Computer Science department of Birzeit University. Knowing the fact: so as to be a professional software analyst and designer, you should have a considerable knowledge in comprehensive programming, coding design patterns, building layers, and several well known software architectural patterns , which I do using Java 5.0. Worked in several software development companies to gain the required experience and knowledge needed for a software analyst and engineer. Applying the latest technologies and best practices in object-oriented software engineering. I am capable to work as a software consultant, software analyst or project manager. Currently working as a part-time software engineer in Caiane. Able to work on own initiative or as part of a team and can deal with administrative duties competently.

Computer Skills:
· Software Engineering: Planning and monitoring all activities concerned with software production (requirements, analysis, design, implementation, testing, software quality, deployment and risk management). Using advanced processes and methodologies to produce and maintain software products such as Rational Unified Process (RUP) and Extreme Programming (XP).
· Object-Oriented System Analysis and Design: software development life cycle, systems analysis and developing workable solutions to business information system problems using the object-oriented paradigm. Using Rational products such as Rational RequisitePro, RUPBuilder and Rational Rose. Applying well-established object-oriented methods. Advanced modelling concepts and techniques will also be used to build complex object models using design patterns such as GRASP and Gof design patterns.
· Advanced Applications Development in Java 5.0: advanced techniques in Java for distributed, real-time and mobile applications using design patterns, JavaBeans, JDBC, RMI, CORBA and J2ME.
· Database Administration: plan, install, configure, maintain, backup and enhance high quality database management systems using Oracle 9i. Analyse and make comparative evaluations of hardware configurations and considerations for database architectures. Describe and appraise logical and physical database layouts using Oracle 9i as a DBMS.
· Project Management: project management techniques and tools, software quality, project teamwork and team building. . Task analysis, resources analysis, planning, estimating, scheduling, monitoring and control. Quality definitions and metrics, quality assurance, quality planning and quality management systems.
· E-Business Development and Deployment: investigate and critically analyse various key issues that relate to e-business system development and deployment planning and practice.
· Distributed Object-Oriented Databases: conducted dissertation under the supervision of Dr. Nick Rossiter, Extending Object-Oriented Database into Distributed System: An Investigation in Query Decomposition. Covering the major issues related to distributed databases in general and distributed object-oriented databases in particular. The dissertation makes an in-depth investigation in query processing in general and query decomposition in particular in distributed OODBMS. The author also produces a software tool to address predicate grouping using the Fusion algorithm. The project was done on Lambda-DB as a OODBMS.
· Visual Basic.NET and Crystal Reports, Rational Rose Product Suit, C++, MS SQL SERVER 2000, Oracle 9i, Visual Basic 6, MS Access and MS Office.
