The Zahara Innovation Lab is a cutting-edge educational facility dedicated to fostering hands-on learning and innovation. Specializing in STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, and Mathematics) education, our lab offers a dynamic environment where students can explore and develop practical skills in areas such as Arduino, Scratch programming, Python, web development, 3D printing, and design. Since its inception, the lab has successfully guided over 150 students, equipping them with the technical and soft skills necessary to thrive in the modern digital landscape. At Zahara Innovation Lab, we are committed to empowering the next generation of innovators through experiential learning and creative exploration.
Partnering with the University of Health Sciences "Türkiye", Turkish Cooperation and Coordination Agency (TİKA); the school was established holding a campus with a 45 students cohert, a computer lab, a modern library, and 16KW solar energy supply to support uninterrupted education. This initiative, benefiting nearly 400 students for two programs, anesthesia & Medical Laboratory Techniques, 120 ECTS each. The school strengthens healthcare education and research by providing essential resources and a sustainable energy solution. The project, inaugurated with key stakeholders, aligns with broader efforts to improve infrastructure, expand learning opportunities, and ensure resilience in regions affected by frequent power outages and ongoing conflict.
This project involved setting up the foundational infrastructure for Aviatrix Infrastructure as Code (IaC) automation, enabling seamless multicloud network deployments with roughly 30Gbps IPSec encrypted throughput. Key achievements included deploying the Aviatrix Controller in AWS using the Sandbox Starter Tool, configuring active AWS and Azure accounts for multicloud resource management, and integrating Terraform Cloud to automate infrastructure provisioning. Additionally, GitHub accounts were established for NetOps, DevOps, and SecOps roles to facilitate collaborative version control and role-based automation workflows. The project laid a robust foundation for secure, scalable, and automated multicloud networking in alignment with Aviatrix's IaC best practices.
In managing the infrastructure for EBS, The E-Partner for Central Bank of Sudan, I oversaw critical environments including Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) based servers, Hardware Security Modules (HSM) for secure cryptographic key management, SAN Storage for high availability and redundancy, and a DAS offline backup for robust data security. This project ensured seamless, secure transactions across a vast network of financial institutions, enhancing the operational efficiency and reliability of the national banking infrastructure.
The name "Sora no Hane" (Reflections of the Sky) in a philosophical sense draws on the concept of reflection and the vast, open sky. In Japanese culture, the sky often symbolizes boundlessness, freedom, and the infinite potential of the human spirit. the idea is to invoke a sense of exploring infinite possibilities through technology, creativity, and self-discovery. The reflections in the sky symbolizes the interplay between the digital and the real world, where 3D graphics create immersive experiences that make us reflect on our reality and our place within it.
