Wassim Alhajomar

Hey there! I'm Wassim, a software developer and physician currently living and working in Munich, Germany. My journey between medicine and programming was shaped by a mix of curiosity and broad interests, I was always drawn to both the biological and the technical worlds. After high school, I applied to both medicine and physics, but was accepted in Charité's Medical School in Berlin, so I moved there. completing my studies around 2023 and stepping into the world of clinical practice through a residency in General Surgery. But alongside this path, another passion began to take root.

While studying in Berlin around 2020, I reconnected with an old friend who introduced me to the world of programming. I kept nagging him to teach me how to make a simple game so he taught me a few things and pointed me to a video series titled "Intro into C". What started as a casual introduction to making games, quickly became a deep fascination. I fell in love with systems programming and the art of building things from the ground up. Discovering Casey Muratori's Handmade Hero series was a turning point for me: it fueled my passion for writing games, engines, and tools from scratch, focusing on craftsmanship and understanding, rather than just using pre-made solutions. Since then, programming has been my constant creative outlet alongside my work in medicine.

When I'm not in the hospital or at the keyboard, you'll often find me exploring other creative pursuits, composing and playing music, drawing, painting, or simply diving into good books and philosophical conversations. Creating things is a thread that runs through everything I do, and I live for it. This space is where I share some of the projects and ideas I've poured myself into over the years, so thanks for stopping by.
