It always have been a pain-in-da-a** to write an “About Me” page or introduction, always  ..

just cannot find where to start and what to say, but i shall summon up some words this time, may god be of help ..

I’m a lazy student of commerce faculty in Cairo University, and of course i live in Egypt ..

Anyways, I’m working ATM as a Web Development Director, doing a lot of PHP, MySQL Development, along with writing a lot standard-complaint HTML5\CSS for website interfaces ..

I’m enthusiastic about Web Standards, Usability, Accessibility and Find-ability.. And i hope that one day i could do my masters on using web built with standards to leverage our day-to-day activities, or maybe about sever lack of technology knowledge  in 3rd world countries [ Which i already marched towards in the past couple of months.. See 5atwa initiative ], or ..wuteva !

I switched my career 2 years ago, from a Network Systems Engineer, for which I’ve studied ( and some time trained, yes! ) Microsoft Server technologies, what was used to be called “MCSE, Microsoft Certified Systems Engineer” [ at the age of 17 ] .. got my MCP Certificate and ID of my first exam..
Then worked for a small period for an IT Solutions company ( or that’s what they called themselves ) for the purpose of gaining experience, but didn’t gain any .. i even used my very little experience at the time to handle big operations and clients SOLELY by myself ( even without evaluation!! ) like ” NCEE , National Center for Exam Evaluation Of Egyptian Ministry of Education “ , ” Nile-Tel of Nile-Group “ the main authorized distributor of Vodafone, the foremost communication provider in Egypt, and a lot more ..

Now you can see why i managed to quit after a little while .. and from there i discovered that people in Egypt does not appreciate what a 18yo young man is capable of, you’re always a kid even if you invent a new atomic bomb that kills only humans.. got many of the “You’re good, but i wish you had your college certificate :( ” ..

That’s why i regained my old dream of being a programmer, found that the growing technologies now mostly make use of the Web, so i went to be a PHP Developer .. studied the manuals, constructed my own lab, and here i’m after 2 year experience, a full functioning Web Developer that types 100 words per-minute ( kidding )..

I’m preparing for the certificate nowadays.. hoping i can take the exam before the end of the year ( just hoping )..

That’s a brief on me .. not much but worth reading to know who i actually am. you can find more on Facebook, or you can follow me @twitter

cya in the posts! lol
