Up to now, I have developed and programmed several software systems using Java, C#. • Web Programming Languages My web programming skills are pretty good at using server languages (PHP, JSP, Java Script, Ajax, Ruby, Beans and ASP.net) as well as static language (HTML) and CSS. I have developed and designed numerous websites for a number of private companies as well as I did some course works with using template engines with PHP for example using Twig, which is regarded as a modern template engine for PHP. Very good at using Template Engines. • Operating System I am able to use all versions of Microsoft Windows including windows 10. Furthermore, I can manage to use some versions of Linux operating systems. Several years ago, I did some shell programming for developing some network applications in Debian Linux shell programming. • Other Experiences Beside all these above technical skills, I have also knowledge about using advance web technologies for instance using SOAP and Rest, Restful web-services. In addition, I did some advance programming in advance distributed computing, for example combining three different websites into one websites so that it can be seen as single websites. I used Java beans and CORBA and java MRI to accomplish that. It was really a big challenge, even though, it was awesome experience. I have also undertaken some cyber security course works and research. Moreover, I have knowledge about using some modern techniques to test the reliability of the developed systems such as; using HAZOP.
