Full Stack DeveloperUI/UX Designer

Born in 1999 and raised in the small town of Al-Mahawil, Iraq, I've always been drawn to the fascinating worlds of technology and creativity. My journey into the digital realm began in 2011 when I got my first computer - a Dell laptop that opened up a universe of possibilities.

From the moment I laid hands on that laptop, I was captivated. I found myself constantly wondering about the inner workings of software and dreaming of creating applications that people around the world could use. It wasn't about future career prospects or financial gain; for me, programming was a thrilling game, an endless source of fun and discovery.

My formal introduction to programming came during my fourth preparatory stage in school, where I learned Visual Basic 6. This marked the official start of my programming journey, but the seeds were sown long before.

As I grew older, my passion for technology evolved alongside my skills. What started as a hobby has blossomed into a multifaceted career as a full-stack software developer and UI/UX designer. I've had the opportunity to work on diverse projects, each one adding to my expertise and fueling my enthusiasm for creating innovative digital solutions.

But there's more to me than just code. I'm an avid gamer, finding inspiration and relaxation in virtual worlds. This passion not only entertains me but also informs my approach to user experience design, helping me create more engaging and intuitive interfaces.

Photography is another of my creative outlets. Through my lens, I capture moments and perspectives that often influence my design aesthetic. This visual art form complements my technical skills, enhancing my ability to craft visually appealing and user-friendly interfaces.

As an open source enthusiast, I believe in the power of community-driven development. I actively contribute to and learn from open source projects, seeing them as a way to give back to the developer community and push the boundaries of what's possible in software development.

Today, I approach each project with the same excitement and curiosity that drove me as a young tech enthusiast. Whether I'm architecting efficient backend systems, designing intuitive front-end experiences, or contributing to open source projects, I'm always eager to learn, innovate, and push the boundaries of what's possible in web development and design.

From that first Dell laptop to the complex web applications and sleek UI designs I create today, my journey in tech has been an exhilarating ride. And the best part? I'm just getting started. With my diverse skill set spanning full-stack development, UI/UX design, and my passions for gaming and photography, I bring a unique perspective to every project I undertake.
