I'm A. Hussein, born under the clear skies of Alexandria, Egypt, on March 12, 1978. Today, I stand as a multifaceted creative multimedia artist and programmer, weaving narratives through photography, videography, graphic/web design, 3D, and motion graphics. Beyond the visual, my passion extends to music production and DJing, crafting soundscapes that resonate with the soul.

Music has been my lifelong companion, beginning with the acquisition of my first record at the tender age of eight—a copy of Michael Jackson's "Billie Jean" that continues to inspire me as profoundly as it did upon first listen. This early encounter with music paved the way for my journey as a guitarist and composer at fourteen, alongside childhood friends in Alexandria. The allure of DJing captured my imagination in the nineties, leading me into the vibrant worlds of Hip Hop, Breakdance, Reggae, and House music. Since turning professional in 1999, my DJ career has seen me animate nightclubs and events across Egypt, Switzerland, Italy, Spain, Russia, and beyond, expanding my musical repertoire and connecting with audiences far and wide. Relocating to Norway in 2005 marked a new chapter in my life, where I dove into media studies and began releasing my music productions, playing in clubs across Norway, the EU, and the UK.

My journey in graphic and web design is not just a professional path; it's a narrative of over a decade of extensive experience in software programming, woven together with a rich tapestry of skills in graphics, web design, 3D design, motion graphics, and video editing. This diverse skill set has seamlessly transitioned into my work as a freelance journalist, where I've been able to leverage these abilities to tell compelling stories, create engaging multimedia content, and bring narratives to life in visually dynamic and interactive ways. Through blending traditional journalism with modern digital artistry, I've crafted stories that not only inform but also captivate and resonate with audiences, showcasing the power of combining tech-savvy creativity with investigative rigor.

My passion for storytelling extends into the visual realm through my advanced photography and videography skills. With a keen eye for composition and a mastery over shooting techniques, I capture moments that tell stories beyond words. My expertise doesn't stop at capturing images; I excel in editing and color correction, ensuring each photograph and video I produce is not only visually appealing but also conveys the right mood and tone. This meticulous approach to visual storytelling enables me to create content that is both engaging and emotionally resonant, showcasing my ability to blend technical proficiency with creative vision.

In 2013, I ventured into entrepreneurship, launching my first company in Trondheim, Norway, and subsequently establishing four restaurants/cafes and a gas station across various Norwegian cities, including Oslo. After six years of enriching experience in the hospitality industry, I pivoted back to my core passions—multimedia and journalism. By the end of 2018, I established Hexagon Codes, a creative hub where I undertake freelance work in video editing, music, motion graphics, graphic design, and web designing and developing.

My career took another exciting turn when I joined Schlumberger, delving into the realms of frontend development and QA testing. This role has not only allowed me to apply my diverse skill set to ensure the highest quality in technology products, specifically tailored for the oil industry, but it has also been a platform for profound professional growth. At Schlumberger, I embraced the opportunity to expand my technical repertoire by diving into new programming languages and cutting-edge technologies, with a particular focus on machine learning, deep learning, and computer science principles as applied to AI technology. This advanced knowledge has significantly enhanced my ability to contribute to innovative projects, enabling me to integrate sophisticated AI-driven solutions into our workflows and products. Alongside my position at Schlumberger, I run my own multimedia studio in Oslo, Hexagon Codes, where I offer a wide array of services, from graphic design to video editing, catering to diverse creative needs. My experience at Schlumberger has not only broadened my technical skills but also enriched the services I provide through Hexagon Codes, allowing me to incorporate AI and machine learning capabilities into my multimedia and web design projects.

My life's journey, from Alexandria to the heart of Europe and finally settling in Norway, has enriched me with a multicultural and multilingual essence, fluent in English, Norwegian, and Arabic. This diverse background fosters my appreciation for diversity and fuels my innovative spirit. I'm excited to share my story and invite you to explore the realms of creativity and technology that define my work.
