Life Altering On-Site Experience. Breaking early barriers & pursuing growth through asset management.
I never had real experience before this, I was simply hungry for one. Coming from a background where no family member had made it to high school—where even middle school was a rare milestone—each step forward was breaking new ground.
Before this onsite experience, I prepared myself through an online internship that introduced me to Microsoft Teams and the modern workplace. Foregoing a fluky '20 istic entry to pass the firsṰ2(hardest) semesters, after which I liberated countless times spent acquiring certs, feeding my soul, and using education to rise above my circumstances until securing this next June.

Foundation for the cloud infrastructure of Linedata (Passed later)
A pivotal achievement that dramatically elevated my cloud networking expertise and opened doors to unprecedented opportunities.
Securing the advanced AZ-700 during the internship by month 07 (Seventh) demonstrated not just technical proficiency but an ability to rapidly adapt and excel under pressure.
Mastered a diverse range of cloud services, DevOps tools, and server-side scripting, building a comprehensive technical foundation.
Learned the importance of adaptability in tech, embracing continuous learning and perseverance as core values.
I worked with a comprehensive stack including cloud services, DevOps tools, and server-side scripting technologies all while harness-ing-.io interaction with others.
I was assigned to the cloud migration project. I excelled in my role, progressing faster than those who had been enrolled for months.
Transportation and financial constraints were challenging. Working with Tunisian companies presented unique experiences in terms of wasta & nepotism workplace culture.
While I was welcome to stay longer, I had accelerated through my learning objectives and found another opportunity (LinkedIn DM from a HR) that aligned with my rapid growth trajectory.

From day one, I embraced the chaos of uncertainty, constantly questioning what lay ahead. During my Third week, while juggling my internship responsibilities, I achieved something remarkable – passing the Networking Engineering certification of Azure.
At 5 AM almost, after completing that Azure exam, I made a LinkedIn post before catching the train station to Linedata. That same day, opportunity knocked – a paid remote position I had only dreamed of. I finished One last week & entered. Sometimes, persistence creates its own luck.
My time at Linedata was so defining & new opportunities beckoned. Scott Hanselman was truly my beacon of hope during this. ²⁰⁺ Computer Stuff They Didn't Teach You felt like a gift from the heavens. I still have this of him while learning Docker with Oh My Zsh.
