FULL BIO

I was born in Kuwait on the 29th of October, 1984, but I moved back to Jordan when I was 6 years old. A brother of 3 and a son of a wonderful mother and father.

I'd like to think I’m a tech-savvy, fun-loving, very ambitious and talkative kind of person. I enjoy listening to music, reading books, watching movies, surfing YouTube, blogging, googling, arguileh and occasionally working out at the gym.

Professionally, I received my Bachelor's degree in Computer Science from Princess Sumaya University for Technology on February, 2007. Now I am a UI / Ruby on Rails Developer and "Senior Web Usability Specialist" at Akhtaboot. Akhtaboot is an online career network that is committed to providing a user-friendly way of linking the right person to the right career opportunity. I'm a very business oriented kind of person; you’d definitely understand what I’m talking about if we met one day

I like to express my devotion to helping those who are in need in our community through participating in a number of social, voluntary and charity activities.

I hate traditions (especially those that don’t make sense at all) as I believe they came from misunderstanding the religion. I also hate “follow the pack” mentality. Watching News is definitely NOT one of my many interests since I believe it is the main cause of heart attacks and high blood pressure but I still manage to keep myself up-to-date with what is happening in the world we live in. I have to admit that I’m stubborn (BIG TIME) as in: I’ll never agree with you just for the sake of being nice!

Have you read the whole thing yet? If yes, you’re going to regret this now. Here’s a brief summary of what has been said: I am Loyal, Inspired, Ambitious, Confusing, Gossipy, Revengeful, Suspicious, Radical and maybe Attractive!
