About Me:
I am an Egyptian, Muslim currently living in the USA. I work as a
software developer for a software company in New Jersey. I
have one brother and one sister.
I graduated from the Computer Engineering Department, Faculty of
Engineering, Cairo University on June 1999 so my background is all about
computers and nothing but computers.
Hobbies
My
hobbies include reading, listening to music, watching movies, collecting
stamps, programming and playing Ping Pong. I like reading arabic novels for
Nagiub Mahfouz and Nabil Farouk. My favorite newspaper is
AlAhram.
I
like playing computer games. FIFA is
one of my favourite games. I also liked playing any adventure game from
Sierra Online (now Sierra Studios). I
finished many of their games starting with King's Quest I and ending with Gabriel
Knight II. I like to play strategic games (when I know how to play them). I
liked Dune and Civilization. I haven't played too much strategic games
though.
I
like
computers! I started all the way back in 1986 by writing simple programs for my Sakhr MSX home computer. Now I
have an IBM Thinkpad PII 300/228 MB, not too up to date but it is ok for
me. I love programming so much. You can see my
projects section for some samples of my work. The
first time I have ever programmed was in 1986 using MSX Basic. This was a
language implemented by Microsoft for the MSX platform and surprisingly
enough it is very close to the Visual Basic. I have used many computer
languages during my carrier. I have used Basic, Pascal, C++ , Assembly
x86,Z80, Lisp and many others. I liked Visual C++/Assembly the most of all
of the languages I have used. I am not too much into web
design. Except for this site and some other small tasks I haven't done
anything big. I am more into system programming and algorithms
implementation.
Work
Experience
My first
working experience started back in 1997 when I worked as a trainee with
Giza Systems Engineering in the
FIFA U-17 Soccer World Cup. It was nice watching the matches for free while
making some money :-) My job was to update the website database during matches so that
people can watch matches through the tournament web site.
After
graduation, I joined Giza Systems
Engineering officially. I worked there on a program called IVR Studio
using Visual C++. After spending about 1 year with Giza Systems, I moved
to Mentor Graphics. There I was working
on a program called IC Station. It was related to IC Layout. Again
Electronics after I though I got rid of it by getting my degree! :-( But the good thing is that I was introduced to the Solaris
OS. I really find it a real operating system away from the Microsoft
junkies. At last, I
moved to SoftDomain Inc. SoftDomain
is a consulting company based in in New Jersey. They have some projects on their own though. There,
I worked
for many of their clients like Verizon
Wireless,
Carlin Group and Lucent
Technologies.
