About me

My name is Mohamed Farouk Abdelwahed. I was born on December 28th 1968. in Cairo, Egypt. In my childhood i was very attracted with the computer and electronic devices. During this period (preparatory school) I observed the earlier computers types that named "Sinclair" and "Commodore". in the beginning, it used Commodore for playing games. then the idea comes to know how this games was done. I started my course in Basic languages. I spent many times in basic programming in Commodore using our old TV.In high school, i start my beloved hobby which is Electronics. One magazine drops in my hand showing a kit for an electronic circuit for a flash light. I did it !! and i that was my beginning in this domain. i start collecting books and magazines that publish electronic kits where i can assemble its components to make a primitive circuits of radio, alarms, counters and so.. From time to time my love to this hobby increases, I spent all my money in that time (unlike other boy) to buy resistors, capacitors and so. I graduated from faculty of science, Cairo University 1991. I was specified in geophysics (don't be surprised, this is our system). I worked in the National Research Institute of Astronomy and Geophysics (NRIAG) as seismology researcher in 1992. During this year a big earthquake occurred in Egypt which took the attraction of geophysists to work in this domain. During my work in NRIAG, I finished my Master study in seismology but still give time to my hobbies. I went to Japan 2002 for my Ph.D. study. I spent there 5 years. From this period until now, my knowledge of Electronic and computer increases. I was specified in visual Fortran languages where i wrote big Windows projects helping my seismology study. In addition, i made some electronic circuits of my own as digital RPM for my car and a digital counter. nowadays i entered the world of robotics where i start the microcontrollers programming a project to construct a unique robot of multitask functions. however this needs a lot of time that i can not find after i married and got 4 Childs!!!.

Programming

My first programming steps were, as with most kids, taken on a Commodore computer, first in Basic. I first met Fortran on my job - that was the sole language my colleagues, faculty professors, were familiar with, and I was forced to study it. Soon I got interested for WATFOR, Fortran 90 features from MS Fortran PowerStation until the brilliant Compaq Visual Fortran compiler comes to my hands. Soon I start the QuickWin, projects then the Win32 application, all using only Fortran. This compiler teaches me a lot and has the favor to make my successful programs. I have written Sgraph, Tomotools, Checkertools, and many others programs.
