I've started programming & web-development around 2004, when I first launched a website containing SEO tools, such as a PR checker/Link popularity checker/Amazon rank/....
Unfortunately my lack of SEO skills at that time made me close down pretty early; as all other competitors were SEO gurus, and had dominated most of the SERPs
After that I decided to launch a website teaching the German language, which could be found at [login to view URL]
The whole website was developed by me alone, from design, to programming the CMS, to programming the features of the website.
By the year 2010, I decided to start freelancing here in Egypt; however, the Egyptian market didn't prove to be such a good market for web-developers, so I decided to expand my services to include working for customers from all over the world, or in other words, looking for jobs here at Freelancer.com :)
