I have been working as an airline pilot for 15 years but I made my first iOS app in 2011.
In 2016 I quit flying to launch a Start-Up – named Booqu Inc (formerly known as Instadeal Inc) in Seattle – USA.
Working as CEO and Lead iOS Developer I coded the REST API/Backend (PHP/MySql), both
iOS apps (Swift), and taken care of server deployment in AWS (autoscaling, load balancing,
code pipeline, SSL certificates, etc).
In 2017, when Booqu Inc went bankrupt, I started flying again but I have been recently laid
off by Qatar Airways, due to Covid 19.
Instead of seeing this situation as something bad, I have decided to grab this opportunity to pursue a career as a freelancer developer.
