As a child, I used to love drawing, a lot. It was my hobby during the school holidays. When I got my first computer in 2004, I started learning everything I could about technology. A few years later, I learned how to design in Photoshop and couldn't stop.
I documented my journey through design and computers since I was a child till today. It includes a yearly, picked highlights from 2004 till 2024.

I’m an Ahmad Shadeed super fan, I’m not going to shy away from that. This is because Ahmad is one of the best in the biz at explaining CSS capabilities.

Ahmad’s website is a go-to resource for me. He has a knack for explaining CSS features with care and clarity, and a great sense for identifying relevant, useful topics.
Tim BrownHead of Typography, Adobe
Ahmad's frontend development knowledge alone already makes him one of the top CSS experts out there – but it's the added care and research he puts into any topic he covers that have made his blog into my favorite CSS resource, bar none.

I always start my day with a cup of espresso. I have a Breville Barista Pro along with AeroPress, moka pot, french press, and turkish coffee.
If you want to support my work, you can buy me a cup of coffee. I'm using a service called (Ko-fi) for that purpose.
I have a few tools that help me to get the perfect espresso shot. I'm still learning, though.
As a child, I was known as the "family photographer", always capturing moments of family and nature. I'm grateful to still have our photo archive, dating back to 2006.
Even though I haven't fully pursued professional photography, my love for it remains. On my 32nd birthday, my daughter gifted me a photo album, inspiring me to recreate this section for fun and to challenge my CSS skills.
