Hello! I am Abdulrahman

ABOUT ME

My name is Abdulrahman Saleh Khamis, a Qatari hardware and software engineer and entrepreneur from the beautiful city of Doha. I graduated from Oregon State University, U.S.A. with Cum Laude honor in Electrical and Computer Engineering, with Computer Science minor.

I program in more than ten different languages, and contribute regularly to open source projects. I believe that I wouldn’t have reached the level that I’m at currently, if it wasn’t for Allah’s blessing and then the open source community. I owe the open source community tremendously, that I devoted most of my personal projects to the open source community.
