Name: Peter Koueik Programming is and was by far a hobby more than a skill. Learning different languages and getting to specifics has just made me want more. Starting from the basic c language, understanding the whole Turing machine concept and what a computer really is, to the deep understanding and grasp of many platforms of nowadays makes me keep on searching for more, makes me thirsty to go into as many programming paths as possible. From c, c++ and java To C#, VB and F# along with the basic Html and css my hunger for knowledge kept me going into Designers world with Silverlight technology xaml and WCF along with many data connectivity concepts... Adobe Family was surely a target from Photoshop to Flash animations. Among other technologies acquired, the DotNetNuke CMS Skinning and module development. Not to forget the Mobile development as Windows Presentation Foundation for windows phones, Java systems for Android and of course Objective-C for IOS through different versions of X-Code. Having such wide experience in all the stated technologies, is like a force driving me to keep on learning. From the IT side of it, networking and Active Directories are also within the scope of my knowledge. Having decided to switch from being technical, I diverted my path into the world of business. Currently involved in high-level strategy development and responsible for maintaining strong relationships with key contacts in existing accounts, as well as developing new contacts and relationships. In addition, I follow market trends and identify gaps and niches that represent new business opportunities. This involves continual business prospecting and bidding, and maintaining high volume pipeline management.
