My Journey

The Header

My passion and interest in IT started when I was 4 years old, my father, being an electric engineer bought our first computer, I remember how being a little boy, I was fascinating looking at this new thing with a chunky screen in black and white colour. I spend my younger years around this new thing and thanks to my father and his work we got an Internet connection by a modem in the early years of the internet when started this new technology, I still remember this horrible noise that modem did when it was connecting to the network 😋

The Break Point

I studied Human resources at the university and I focused my career in-office staff and operational managing, I was working nearly 10 years combining office works and managing people in an export company when I realized that it was boring and monotone for me, I did not want to keep doing that all my life. So I moved to London to accomplished one of my dreams, to learn English. It was difficult at the beginning because I did not understand much English and I had to start in a lower position in the hospitality industry where my English level was not the most important but I am very grateful to all of them how gave me an opportunity and gave me the possibility of stay in London and let me improve my English and my life.

The New Beggining

My Journey in Web development began with a historical World event, The Covid19 pandemic, March of 2020 when the frighten Covid19 virus arrived and spread to most of the world. Many countries declared a lockdown being affected in many businesses and jobs everywhere. I had a stable job in an important restaurant in London and after the situation of the pandemic, the hospitality business as other industries were closed. Like other people, I found myself without a job and with an uncertain future. Instead of being depressive and frustrated with this situation, I turned my point of view and I started to see things in a positive way.

To Continue

Now with this situation in this new era of internet and mobile apps, I retook my passion for IT and this is the reason for bringing these words here to this web portfolio. I have been studying Web development for one year already, although and knowing that it will not be an easy way for me, I am trying to learn on my own with online resources, I am determined and working hard, focusing my career and future on this passionate world. I want to show in this portfolio a piece of what I have learned and I can do, and this is the first brick of what I will be capable of doing soon with a lot of work and persistency.
