Praise be to God until praise reaches its utmost. Praise be to God by whose grace good work is completed. My success is from Him alone; in Him I trust, and to Him I turn.

I am honoured to share the fruit of a long academic journey — neither short nor easy — completed, by God’s grace, with a Professional Master’s in Software Engineering and Knowledge Engineering, together with the distinctions listed here.

The path was full of duties that some might see as obstacles to learning: professional and family responsibilities, scarce time, the passing of years. I became more certain that these circumstances are not the end of the road, but a reason to persist. Age is not a barrier to ambition, and a full life is not a reason to stop. Sincere will, steady work, patience, and trust in God are the keys to excellence.

I dedicate this achievement to my parents, to my family, to every teacher who taught me a letter, and to everyone who stood with me by a kind word or a sincere prayer. To all of you, my deepest thanks.

To anyone who feels a dream is late, or that circumstances are too heavy: do not postpone your aims because of a number on an identity card, nor because of too many responsibilities or too little time. As long as there is passion in the heart, resolve in the soul, and prayer on the tongue, “impossible” is only a word — and success remains the fruit of patience, effort, and sincerity.

O God, praise is Yours as befits the majesty of Your Face and the greatness of Your dominion. I ask God to make this success the beginning of greater ones, to benefit me by what I have learned, to make knowledge a proof for me and not against me, and to grant every seeker of knowledge the fulfilment of their dreams.
