I am currently working as Production Manager for BiblioTech Ltd. BiblioTech Ltd. develops web-based applications and solutions, which can be grouped together to build multilingual online communities. BiblioTech Ltd. currently runs 2 large online communities, schoolmaster.net (350000 members) and postmaster.co.uk (160000 members). Schoolmaster.net is a safe environment for school children, teachers and parents to meet, communicate, work and learn.

During my time at BiblioTech Ltd I have had a varied role and even though my main responsibilities have been towards production, I have also been involved with our servers and workstations as necessary, building, installing and configuring the systems, which includes both Windows and Linux systems. As the systems department fluctuates then so does my role in this area.
BiblioTech Ltd. develops web-based software to complete an integrated suit that currently serves the educational sector. Web based communication tools, email, chat, discussion, and filestorage to name a few, form the basis for a learning platform that integrates 3rd party educational content. This suit goes to build the community called schoolmaster. Schoolmaster currently has 350,000 registered members across the world.
As production manager my role is to develop and manage all the 'front end' aspects of BiblioTech's community sites, from application development to marketing site production. This is a varied and sometimes complex job, especially as the sites are multilingual currently in 6 languages including Arabic. Because I have worked at BiblioTech for such a long time I have been instrumental in developing processes and procedures regarding the development cycle of products.
Managing a team of HTML producers, a designer, and a translation coordinator, I also work closely with the head of the technical department to ensure smooth handovers and on time delivery of projects.

I am competent using Windows and Linux (Red hat) desktop environments. I have a strong understanding of networking and related issues, and also database and cgi related issues as they pertain to dynamic page construction. I have the ability to work well under pressure and manage multiple projects simultaneously, and am a strong communication skills.
