IT Manager | Hotel Pre-Opening & Operations | Hospitality Systems & Infrastructure

Delivering reliable technology operations and guest-focused IT solutions across hotel environments — from pre-opening planning to multi-property operations.

Profile

Technology built around hospitality.

A practical, service-oriented IT professional with experience supporting hotel operations, pre-opening teams and multi-property environments.

My background combines hotel IT leadership with hands-on knowledge of hospitality applications, network infrastructure, servers, security, backup and integrated hotel systems. I have contributed to hotel openings, renovations and technology operations across Egypt and Saudi Arabia.

“Technology should make hotel operations smoother, teams more effective and the guest experience more seamless.”
