Currently teaching E-Commerce and Internet Systems courses at King Fahd University of Petroleum & Minerals (KFUPM), in Dhahran, Saudi Arabia. I have a BS and an MBA from Nebraska, US. Been actively involved with web development since the early 1990s (when all web pages were in grey and links could only be blue and purple). I have enjoyed owning web properties since 1994. I have worked with a number of US software companies in the Silicon Valley and Sydney, Australia.

I enjoy working on web and CGI and media projects. Career so far has taken me to the US, Asia Pacific and the Middle East. My true passion has to be teaching, sort of consider myself a 'life/career coach' to many of the students.

Research and interests include the entrepreneurial internet, e-innovation on the web, web scalability and web server performance challenges, web application engines, cloud computing, social internet, CMSs, CGI, the communication arts and promoting web standards.
