01About

A decade between the rack and the runway.

I'm Yazid Hamed Alharbi — a Network Engineer and Airport Operations Manager specializing in mission‑critical systems and resilient infrastructure. My focus is guaranteeing system uptime and engineering high‑reliability technical solutions for environments where downtime is not an option.

Today I lead airport operations for SITA in Al Qassim across AMS, FIDS, PFM, Amadeus and BRS. Before that, two years inside King Fahad Hospital's network on behalf of solutions by stc — designing Layer 2 segmentation for medical devices, integrating cloud gateways, and keeping critical clinical traffic clean.

Core strengths
  • Enterprise LAN architecture & VLAN segmentation
  • Cisco Layer 2 / Layer 3 troubleshooting
  • Airport operations on AMS, FIDS, PFM & Amadeus
  • Voice over IP (Avaya IP Office, Cisco IP Phones)
  • QoS, port security & access control
  • Cross‑functional coordination with ops & medical teams
01
Reliability
Designing systems that stay up when downtime isn't an option — airports, hospitals, enterprise floors.
02
Clarity
Documented topologies, clean VLAN design, predictable QoS. Future engineers thank you.
03
Operations first
Engineering decisions weighed against the operators, passengers, and patients who depend on them.
04
Continuous learning
Cisco, Amadeus, automation, AI — the stack evolves, so does the engineer.
02Experience

A timeline of critical systems.

From bank floors to hospital networks to airport operations — every role added another layer to the same craft: keep the infrastructure invisible and uninterrupted.
