About Me

I'm Wael Al-Sallami (born April 7th 1988), an Iraqi web developer, I hold a Bachelor degree in CS from the University of Babylon, located in the province of Babil, in which I currently reside. I know PhotoShop HTML, CSS, JS, MySql, PHP, and Ruby;

I have experience with CakePHP and CodeIgniter in PHP, and Rails and Sinatra in Ruby. As a graduation project, I implemented the "LearningCare" application, which was a learning tool for the students of my university, it came out to be quite a success, and I received several appreciation notes from the university for it.

At my last month at college, I heard about a US State Department exchange program, it was called the "Iraq IT Interns" and was aimed at training young Iraqi entrepreneurs in the Silicon Valley, I applied, and to the best of my surprise, I made it along with six other guys out of hundreds of applicants.

We were taken to California, given shiny new Macbooks, and separated in two-man teams; Each team was to work with a tech company for the duration of 3 months, I got Square , others got Mozilla , AT&T , and EngineYard.

After I came back from the US, I briefly worked as a Web Development lab assistant in my university.

I'm currently working as lead Rails developer at Stylitics, a US-based startup, and planning to go back to California next year to pursue my graduate study at USF.
