Nizar has been making software professionally for over ten years. He has learned several platforms and naturally found himself in leadership positions, though he doesn't think of himself primarily as a manager. He is very comfortable communicating and prides himself on an easy interactive style with a touch of humor and a knack for explaining things to non-developers.
