I live in Cairo, Egypt. I started my career as a freelance designer back in 2001. I had developed some websites for myself and some friends for free (as a hobby) and I enjoyed it. Then I was presented with an opportunity to develop a huge web site for SAR (Search And Rescue) units in the united states. They really loved what I did for them so they asked me to develop another web site. for SAR Statistics i was responsible for every thing from the design to the development based on database driven registry and ASP web development.

Then i continued freelancing and did a huge number of web sites as you can see in the web design portfolio page.

In October 2006 i started a full time job with Ripple Applications ( now ASP Internet Professionals) a company that develops and markets hosted Software as a Service solutions for small businesses located throughout the United States.  I joined them as a Junior web designer then i got promoted twice and my last position there was senior web designer and a team leader on 7 web designers. Then my objective there changed from design which i like to instruct, direct and manage the juniors so i had to resign to continue doing designs :). every body there was happy with my exceptional performance as you can review from the certificate they gave me later on when i resigned in August 2007 .

After Resigning from Ripple application i Joined National Société Générale Bank - NSGB to start a career in the online banking and E-Banking but unfortunately they had a very weak development at this direction so they allocate me to Letter of credit department !. For sure that wasn’t satisfying my ego so I had to find another part time job to do what I Love and develop my web skills so I got a part time contract in a UK based web design firm that was in September 2007 ( I used to work for this company from July 2006 under freelance bases).They always say that i do an exceptional performance there cause I am doing what i love to do which is web designing :) .I kept doing the part time job beside the leads i get from webdesign4me until i resigned from the bank In March 2008 To dedicate my full time and effort to Ripple application ( ASP Internet Professionals ) as Chris Lude the company owner give me a kinda of a god father offer " I'll make him an offer he can't refuse. You see, Johnny,.." :-)

So i got back to work in ASP Internet Proffesional as an art director and a head of the design and SEO team and currently am not taking any kind of projects at webdesign4me without direct written permission from ASP internet professionals
