About Paul-Marc Bougharios

Strong believer in God, I'm a computer & communications engineer and IT consultant. When it comes to computers, I believe in Open Source & Linux :-)

Summary

As a Computer & Communications Engineer, I worked in quite versatile domains, from pure programming to system administration, passing by IT support, troubleshooting & maintenance, along with technical engineering design, implementation & enhancement.
Having had the chance to participate in the establishment and directing of the IT department of one of the largest educational institutions in Lebanon, my experience took off from the domain of technical proficiency to the realms of management, planning and resource assessment.
I also worked in one of the most interesting departments where several factors posed as my daily bread: system monitoring, support calls, programming & automation, administration, troubleshooting & debugging of the production framework, documentation of procedures and best practices...
I always take out the most experience, knowledge & know-how from what I do, and prepare myself to be given higher responsibilities...
I am planning in the future to continue my higher education (PhD) in Engineering, and achieve myself in major research and technology breakthrough.

Each man has his own gift from God.
