Analyzing business logic for constructing robust databases using DBMS (like SQL server). Developing artificial intelligence algorithms and adapting the statistical based models to solve real problems specially in Bioinformatics. Working on filtering high frequency data like the financial stock market transactions. Implementing parallel processing and distributed computing methods and techniques. I have written some scientific papers, for example : o Vehicle Detection Using Frame Differencing and Hole Filling Techniques. o Agent-Based Web-Services Information Finding and Querying System. o Distributed Entities Invocation Techniques in Distributed Systems. o Survey on Sensor Networks. Applications and Routing Techniques. Internship and Work Experience Postgraduate Student: (May 2009 Present) Center of Excellence in Genomic Medicine Research (CEGMR), Jeddah, Saudi Arabia Working in my master thesis under joint supervision (Faculty of Computing and CEGMR) I worked with the (Bioinformatics) team to analyze the biology data like (Gene Expression, Breast Cancer sequencing...etc). I completed the training in the center (Feb-2009 to Apr-2009) in [Bioinformatics, Molecular Biology and Cytogenetic]. Research Assistant: (May 2006 May 2007) Futures Business Development, Jeddah, Saudi Arabia I have worked in many financial research projects related to the stock market forecasting and financial measurements (like Neural Networks and Hidden Market Models). I work in developing automatic trading systems and financial reports with Visual Studio.Net (C#). I work in designing the database (SQL Server 2000) for different requirements related to storing the stock market transactions that come from the Feed Line. I have developed a complete and generic system for the Saudi and the Gulf stock markets Indices Generation. The system has been built by using state of the art technologies and the efficient languages (Matlab, C#.Net and Sql Server). One of the most valuable features in that system is that more than 60 company and market indices (statistical and financial) are generated for each transaction in order to give high capability for modeling. I have developed the distributed and parallel computing network and I have customized the distributed computing software. I am working as a senior developer in Evolution ERB system. This system has been developed based on.net technology and we have customized this solution for many organizations. Analyzing and designing the business requirements and the software architecture for different projects and modifications in the ERP system. The following table summarizes some of the major projects that I have worked in. other projects can not be revealed or listed here as they are included in the confidentiality agreement between me and the company: 3
