About Me

Dev-Ops
Owning dev-ops skills as a developer is a must nowadays, although maintaining the dev-op scripts is tedious and can drive anyone crazy, including me. Luckily I discovered NRWL Nx, and I use it in all my projects as it is the best framework to date

OWapps was a company I have joined, initially ran by Samer, Jonathan, and Rami until I have joined as the fourth founder. During those years, we did many consultants and, in parallel, worked on a cutting-edge product that was supposed to impact the market significantly. Eventually, we decided to pursue new adventures separately.
