Recommendations

  • Nour is a very responsible, smart developer and a fast learner. She approaches tasks thoroughly and carries them through to the end. It was a pleasure to work with Nour, as she's a team player and often gave great hints and valuable feedback. I regret we're not in the same company any more. Highly recommended!

  • Nour is very talented, not only is she an excellent developer and a problem solver but also has distinct social and communication skills. She writes maintainable code and thinks long and hard before commiting to any scheme. This results in saving a lot of time in the long run.
    If she stopped working with us, we would lose a great team member with a great personality. She enriches any team in a pleasant way.

  • Nour has done her three month training at TootCorp, she was very dedicated to work, more than any other university trainee we ever had. She is smart and a fast learner, she worked on Ikbis and other projects and managed to learn the frameworks and languages really fast.

    George Akra
    CEO of TootCorp
  • Nour is an extraordinary student who always goes beyond expectations. I had the opportunity to supervise her graduation project at JUST, she successfully completed a complex project that required the integration of many components. She got an excellent feedback from the committee who evaluated the project and considered among the top 5% of the students.

Interests

In July 2016 I participated in a summer school program at Utrecht University titled Applied Functional Programming in Haskell which I enjoyed very much! These days I spend my free time learning about functional programming and Haskell, I find that process very rewarding. I am also interested in Non Relational databases and data aggregations, as I use MongoDB for some personal projects.
