I am an experienced Developer in Lower Saxony, Germany | Open-Source Advocate with NGO and Startup Background
I follow Development patterns and principles.
With years of experience in the software industry, I possess a deep understanding of client requirements and excel at delivering them to the development team in an organized and efficient manner. Throughout my career, I have collaborated with individuals and NGOs from diverse locations such as Yemen, Germany, the Netherlands, and beyond. This global exposure has enriched my knowledge and expertise in C#, Unity, and Python, allowing me to implement them effectively while adhering to sound software engineering principles.
One of my notable accomplishments includes serving as the Lead Developer for several Serious Games developed for Deutsche Gesellschaft für Internationale Zusammenarbeit. These projects, developed using Unity and C#, can be explored on their official website ArabiaFelix.social, or on our website Arkadia.dev
In addition to my proficiency in Unity and C#, I have honed my skills in implementing SOLID, KISS, DRY, and Lightweight principles. By following strict naming conventions that promote team cohesion, I ensure seamless collaboration and maintain code consistency.
