about

until my pitch video is ready, here I share this short movie by Andrew Chaplin with you

Hello my guest;

My name is Nadeem – a chain of coincidences made me what I would be defined as, a set of choices made me who I actually am, and the only way to know me is by knowing me. My life is driven by sort of an intellectual curiosity and a passion for a just world, where people don't have to die so their loved ones live, and where you will not find animals in zoos. Kids, grandparents, and animals often make smile.

Most of the time I’m enthusiastic, easygoing, and can be a good company – but sometimes; I’m just not. I enjoy cooking and reading (even if I don't read often anymore), I play percussion, and I can’t figure out what my hobbies are. //yes i still can make selected words bold// I have strong interest in technology, economics, history and society in general – other interests appear and disappear occasionally.

I accumulated a set of management skills, IT skills, and interpersonal skills that make me good at a variety of situations, tasks and jobs. These skills enabled (and were enabled by) a diverse career I had so far – more on that in my CV. Throughout my professional life, my favorite job roles were the ones involved in education and teaching. Education is the greatest form of empowerment, and the most rewarding job I ever done – if I was a farmer or in a life-saving practice, I might have something else to say.

Since I rediscovered my way to programming – thanks to PowerCoders, I have been enjoying it. Spending hours in solving a code or a design problem is a great exercise for the brain and brings a lot of joy to me!

Thanks for visiting my blog. Until we have a chance to meet and/or work together – I invite you to discover more about my professional work in this page, or get an insight into my thoughts and my projects in the other sections of this site. And until then; I wish you a pleasant time.
