A brief history
A brief history
I was born and raised in Muscat, Oman in the early 1990s. During my childhood years, I developed a strong passion for technology and media. I began creating home movies at the age of 7, starting with tapes and later transitioning into the digital age.
Throughout my school years, I immersed myself in computer technology, constantly tinkering with hardware and software to satisfy my curiosity. I familiarized myself with all the emerging technologies that we now take for granted, providing me with a significant advantage in the early stages of my career.
Whether in school, university, at home, or in the workplace, I always believed in the value of collaborative knowledge sharing. I have been consistently eager to learn from and teach my fellow peers.

I was appointed as the Post Production Supervisor for all projects, actively participating from pre-production to final delivery. This role involved meticulous risk assessment, the establishment of proper workflows, the consideration of technical limitations, and the identification of effective solutions.
