INTRODUCTION LETTER

A Master in Civil Engineering, Structure and Public works, since 1995, from the ULFG II (Univertité
Libanaise Faculté de Genie, branche II), coupled to another Master of Building engineering in Construction
Management acquired from Concordia University, Montreal, Ca. (With a PhD of Building Engineering)
further to many training programs in Structure, Management and Safety were the back ground of more than
Twenty years of experience in the professional engineering fields. Wide professional experiences in
structure design and project management are conducted and made me able to achieve the tasks listed
hereafter with a high level of the professionalism, expertise and accuracy with a remarkable capacity to
manage the works and its related problems and to lead team members further to high ability to support the
work stresses.
