السلام عليكم — welcome
Osama Hafez
It's not just about what you can do at your work desk, but what you do away from it.
I'm a full stack software engineer who can manage and run various large projects simultaneously. My soft skills far exceed your average developer because of my experience in various community based projects. Even though I'm a familiar face, I prefer to work behind the scenes so that I remember why I'm really doing things. I enjoy serving my family, friends and community, deepening my understanding of my religion, gardening, and football (soccer).
