Previous Positions

  • Software Development Engineer @ Microsoft (2008) ⇨ Developing plugins for the ELS (Extended Linguistic Services) platform.
  • Embedded Software Engineer @ SysDSoft (now acquired by Intel) (2010) ⇨ Implementing the LTE (Long Term Evolution) 4G mobile networks base station physical layer.

Currently self-employed at NOMone Software. Here’s my NOMone demoreel (though it’s several years old, so very outdated):

Strengths

Having worked on several areas, my experience spans a lot of technologies. It can be hard to pin-point my strengths. But I would say I’m most experienced in:

  • Game Development.
  • Graphics programming.
  • Low-level programming.

The languages I typically use are:

  • C++ (16+ years).
  • Java (8+ years).
  • Javascript (5+ years).
  • Rust (New).

I did some development in C, Objective-C, C#, Assembly, PHP, Python and other languages, but nothing as long term as the above ones. I just mentioned these to show my inclination to use the right tool for the job every time. I’m not afraid of having to pickup new skills as necessary. In fact, I would count this as one of my strengths.

I’m very comfortable working on:

  • Mobile and cross platform apps.
  • Low-level apps (like the Chromium browser, embedded software, system abstraction layers and other stuff that interact directly with systems/hardware).
  • Web technologies, spanning both front-end and backend.

Teaching Experience

My knack for teaching goes a long way back:

  • I used to give weekly programming sessions when I was in the preparatory stage at school (school approved). Several of my colleagues actually took it seriously and became computer engineers, which I’m quite proud of.
  • I’m one of the founders of the CCEL (Cairo Computer Engineering Labs), a student activity in the Faculty of Engineering of Cairo University. We basically gave students extracurricular courses to help identify where in the wide spectrum of computer engineering do they belong. I hear the CCEL is still running till today.
  • I’ve worked as an instructor for Tuts+, teaching HTML5 hardware accelerated graphics.
  • I write technical articles and how-to(s) on my blog “nomone.com” from time to time. I used to have much more articles, but several hosting disasters have trimmed them down to a few (lessons learned: backup your website regularly!).

Epilogue

So, here I am looking for a job to add to my long journeys in the universe of technical learning. Please pick me up! I can easily teach:

  • C.
  • C++ (classic and modern C++).
  • Java.
  • Android.
  • Game development.
  • Web development essentials: HTML, CSS, Javascript and Node.js.
  • Advanced Javascript (ES6).
  • Algorithms and data structures.
  • Logic design and computer architecture.
  • Microprocessing and interfacing.
  • Probably many other things that just don’t happen to cross my mind a the moment.

Thanks for your interest in employing me. Regards!

I used: https://html2pdf.com/ to create the pdf. Just put all the above in the body of an HTML page and upload it.
