About
Faisal Al Hashimi
The craving for high-end caliber of design, development and dealing with people in a personal, catered method has been the drive behind entering the world of coding and web development. Years ago, I discovered the controlled joy of writing code and seeing it blossom on a lit screen. From then on, I gathered years of experience in the field, specializing in backend, server-side development. And the rosary split from there. I dabbled heavily with design, enjoying custom orders most of all because there existed a passionate patience in creating from scratch and hearing clients’ added feedback and reaction.
Being gifted with and enchanted by human opinions, I found a flair in marketing and in the personal yet anonymous mass that is social media presence. I gained knowledge and a grasp of handling it.
Lately, database structuring has been a focus in the seekage of continuous progress and in perfecting the field of catering gracefully to the ever-changing kaleidoscope that is web development
