About

Hello! I'm Hussein, a passionate software developer based in Iraq. I enjoy creating things that live on the internet, whether that be websites, applications, or anything in between.

My interest in development started back in 2018 when I decided to try building simple programs - turns out building things teaches you a lot about programming and problem-solving!

Fast-forward to today, I've had the privilege of working with various clients and companies. My main focus these days is building accessible, scalable backend systems and teaching the next generation of developers at Pythowner.
