Profile Summary
I’m Mohammad Zuhaib, an IT Solutions Architect with 18+ years of global experience spanning IT support, infrastructure design, and cybersecurity — with proven impact across private enterprises and U.S. government organizations.
My career has taken me from building secure Linux server deployments and Microsoft 365 rollouts to delivering high-stakes IT support for U.S. military institutions in the UK — including the U.S. Navy’s research office in London and the U.S. Air Force Education & Training Center at RAF Mildenhall.
What sets me apart is a leadership-driven, research-oriented approach: I don’t just implement technology, I align it with organizational goals — delivering secure, cost-effective, and scalable systems that empower both people and missions.
I hold dual Master’s degrees (MSc Computer Science & MBA IT), along with certifications including CompTIA Security+, Cisco CCNA, and Microsoft 365 Enterprise Administrator. Through this platform, I share insights, case studies, and solutions drawn from my ongoing journey of building digital resilience in mission-critical environments.
Professional Journey
With over 18 years of experience, I’ve contributed to a wide range of IT environments — from building infrastructure for private firms in India to supporting U.S. military research offices in the UK. My work combines hands-on technical support with secure systems design and a solutions-driven mindset.
