01 · Trajectory

The climb, drawn honestly.

Sixteen years of widening scope — from a single site's help desk in Dbayeh to directing technology across 14+ countries. Each grey line is one role, held at the breadth it carried; the ink line traces the widest scope held at any moment, dips included.

In prose: help desk at ABC in Dbayeh, 2010. Site and company IT through 2016 — often two roles at once. World Vision from March 2016; ICT Team Lead in 2018; regional IT management across multiple countries in 2022; and since October 2023, Regional IT Director for 14+ countries across the Middle East and Eastern Europe. The brief dip in late 2017 is real — a concurrent company role ended before the next step up.
