About

I’m an experienced AV specialist who’s delivered creative and engaging solutions across most GCC countries. I supervised over 400 unique installations using different methods and vendors. In 2018, my STC boardroom project won the Control4 ''Commercial Project of the Year'' award. in 2019 my SEEC project was a finalist for the AV awards one of the most prestigious honors in the Audio/Video industry. I worked closely with companies like Samsung, Control4, Lutron, Lightware, Televic, Arthur Holm, Condeco, Aten, NEC, Cisco, Poly and many others. My work has also been featured in AV magazine, SmartHome Magazine, AV interactive and on many blogs. My previous job was working as the General Manager for Megatech Arabia. a leader in the AV market in Saudi Arabia. our turn over was around 50 million SAR yearly. I hired and managed all of its 55 employees until December 2021 where I decided to part away and start something with bigger personal ambitions. I am now working on closing the gap between the AV and IT businesses with a platform that manages both smoothly and under one user interface. If you have a project I can help with, please get in touch.
