Highest Degree:  MS. in Computer Science (King Fahd Uni. Of Petroleum and Minerals) GPA 3.5 with specialization in Databases and Network, M.   Sc. in Mathematics Ist Position ( Aligarh Muslim University, India )

Current Position

Lecturer in Department of Mathematical Sciences in King Fahd Univeristy of Petroleum and Minerals, Dhahran, KSA. in addition to teaching, I have been assigned the tasking of maintaining SQL server, Windows Advance Server , supervision and management of CAL labs ( about 80 PCs); Serving Faculty Needs, managing PC-Lab with 40 workstations used  for teaching purposes; Management of Faculty Information System; Maintenance of Web Pages for Maths ; Development of Intranet based Faculty   Information System where   Faculty members can access  and update the information of their interest.

Current Work Environment:

KFUPM is the most prestigious University in the region. After completing my MS in  mathematics from Aligarh Muslim University , Aligarh, India, I joined  KFUPM and didd  MS  in Computer Science. I joined the Computer Science Department as a Systems Analyst. Upon completion of the assigned tasks, I was transferred to the ELC ( English Language Center).  After working in the ELC for 6 years on different database projects and network software, I joined the Math Department as lecturer with 50% time for teaching and 50% for the management of  Computer related tasks.   Apart from the teaching assignments,  I was assigned to complete the project of developing teaching material and applications for score keeping for students’ grades as well as teaching material .  With the growth of Internet/Intranet facilities, we are now poised to automate the information management and  developing WEB pages for the faculty members.  I am also Web master for the department.

New Tasks in Progress

  • Development of Web Academic Information System for KFUPM

 

Languages known: Fortran-77, Pascal, PL/1,C/C++, Quick Basic, Visual Basic, Assembly, PC/PILOT; Active Server Pages(ASP), HTML, Scripting Using Java;C++

Database Packages: Dbase4, FoxPro (multi-user Environment), MS Access, SQL on IBM mainframe ; SQL on Microsoft SQL Server

Professional Training’s: Novell LAN Supervisor by authorized agents of NOVELL and " ORACLE-1" in India from TULEC, a franchise of "TATA UNISYS" based in Delhi.

Projects/Assignments Completed:

  • Database Design and Implementation for Managing VLSI chip using SQL embedded PL/1 and FORTRAN languages on IBM mainframe.
  • Database Design and Simulation of Airline Reservation System as a part of course requirement.
  • Development of Lesson Authoring System using AMIGA basic language.
  • Transfer of AHPL compiler from VAX-11 to IBM-360 system with some code conversion.
  • Transfer of 300 lessons from HP3000 computer to Novell Server with the help of conversion programs (written by me) after embedding PC-PILOT code. The process was automated .
  • Site preparation and installation of first Novell Netware in the University on five file servers with internal bridging (in 1988). Multi-user applications were developed for the use of around 1000 students every week (based on the lab schedule), students score keeping , grade downloading from five servers to one place and processing it class wise.
  • Package developed for the management of the short courses database; tracking course participants, generating statistics for the individual course and for all the courses.
  • Package developed for score keeping and processing   of exams in English Language Center and Math Department using Qbasic , DBASE-IV and FoxPro, SQL Server, Score Management Using HTML and ASPs with SQL database.
  • Package Developed for scheduling Oral Exams in ELC.
  • Development of software for the Preparatory Year Math Students.
  • Web based Academic Information System
