Basecamp

I'm Ahmed.

Your Site Reliability Engineer. I accept the challange.

      A bit about me

    • I'M A WEB DESIGNER

      I’m a web designer. I love the web and appreciate simple and functional design. I believe that design is a communication tool that should be clear, meaningful and pleasing for everyone that use it.
      The journey started by design and slice PSD files “mockup”. For sometimes it was a hot job and fun. But I was hungry for more. I know I can do and learn more. I taught myself HTML and CSS, which was a huge thing. I was a wizard. It was so rewarding.
      Again, I was hungry for more. I wanted to know what happens to my front-end files. What is this back-end stuff?!
      That curiosity lead me to ASP.NET. I appreciated the eco-system that Visual Studio created for developers. It was ok and gets the job done. But I felt that work should be simpler, cheap to learn and implement. I knew work shouldn't be that crazy. I kept searching for better tools until I found Rails. And it was a game changer for me and the whole industry. It was and still a life saver. From that time, I got to know and love everything about 37signals and Rails. I become a fan.

    • WHAT I DO

      Rails gave me the power to be a one man product. Able to design ideas, covert them to HTML & CSS then work on them to the finished product. Some years ago, I set my sails to get real and be a Web Consultant. Design and develop websites. And consult on projects for better harmony and functionality. Doing so gave clients a peace of mind and confident in my abilities to deliver. I still have loyal clients for over 7 years.

      While I love my job, again, I’m always hungry for more challenges, expand my knowledge and learn new skills. I know I can learn and do more. I know I have the ability to be a strong asset to my peers, to the product I would work on and make my mark.

    • THINGS I LOVE

      On a weekly basis in the past 5 years, I ask myself; what really worries me personally? And my answer always, not having enough time to learn more. Accomplish more. Do more. There are so many thing to learn and so little time to do so.
      Beside enjoying my family time and doing my business, I found that I have to start somewhere and enjoy what I could do and I love, and I'm doing it, cooking, baking(specially sourdough), gardening, painting, learn new languages, such as French and Swedish, play Soccer, learn piano, teach cooking and baking for children and adult also teach coding for children. While it is an ok list, I’m still hungry for more.
