Employee Spotlight - Karim Fahmi

By -
Our Employee Spotlight series will highlight a different member of the SmartSimple crew every week. Take some time to get to know the wonderful and diverse team behind the SmartSimple platform!

Karim Fahmi is a Technical Resource for our Sales team and has been working for SmartSimple since March 2013. We get to know Karim better in this week's Employee Spotlight, which includes his best productivity tip, favourite movie, and his musical background!


Productivity tip:
When uploading data into the system, always test first by taking a sample of that data and ensuring it is loaded properly. Then, load the rest of the data. This will help you avoid unwanted records and save time. If the data is bad, you will only have to remove the sample you uploaded, as opposed to removing everything that was loaded.

What is your favourite part about working for SmartSimple?
The people I work with every day. It's almost like a little community on its own. SmartSimple is made up of people from all over the world with a variety of educational backgrounds and unique skills.

What are your hobbies?
I love to watch TV (Top Gear UK, Criminal Minds, Big Bang Theory, Modern Family) usually with a pack of Skittles or some sort of sour-flavoured candy.

Favourite movie?
The Avengers.


A random fact about you that most people wouldn't know:
I used to be in a jazz band for all four years of high school. I also used to play the trombone.

There are two types of servers you can use; a dedicated server or a non-dedicated server. Google's server farm in Douglas County, Iowa What’s the Difference?

Why would my organization choose one option over the other?

That’s really not as complicated as it sounds. Data classification is all about how sensitive your data is and, therefore,
