A Little Bit About Me
My name is Majdi Nawfal. I am from Syria. I came to Canada a couple of years ago from Malaysia where I was performing my postgraduate studies in Knowledge Management, and working as Marketing and Business Development specialist.
I have over 8 years of working experience, but I have always been looking to go deeper into web technology and go beyond the normal user to programming and web development. By implementing Web Development technologies and techniques I am trying to turn ideas into real web-based businesses.
