About Me

Samar Hossam: I am a software engineer with 14 years of professional experience.
During my professional life, I have worked in three software houses. And I had the opportunity to play several technical as well as management roles in the software development process, which got me exposed to a variety of business fields and technologies.

I use this blog to share technical experience with the development community. It is also meant as a THANK YOU gesture for all the bloggers out there, whose articles have supported me a lot in fixing technical issues I have encountered.
