My name is Muhammad Zulfikar Rakhmat. People usually called me “Fikar” or “Zulfikar”, but since I moved to Middle East people called me “Muhammad” because it’s my first name and it’s a arabic name, so it is easier for them to call me. I was born in Pati, Indonesia on 10 April 1992, I was born with a physical problem in the hand, when my mom delivered me, I had a “neonatal asphyxia” problem ( not sufficient oxygen ). The doctor team decided to hospitalize me for one month in regard of recovering my condition. The doctor diagnosed “neonatal asphyxia” with possibility weakness on hands soft motor muscle, but there is no any problem with my brain, IQ, and others.

Since November 1992, I have been undergoing the several physiotherapy treatments as per doctor recommendation to improve my condition for muscle weakness on my hands. Along with this treatment, I started the KG school in home country and continued for elementary school till year 9 at the Public School normally. The school allowed me to bring the laptop for supporting my hand write.

Since grade 2, I became involved in computers. My dad bought my first computer and I always had the fascination with a smart interactive machines. At that time, I thought that computers are amazing. It made me want to try everything with it. I quickly became interested in everything related to computers and tried not to focus in single aspect.

In grade 4. it was the first time I met with programming language, Delphi, VisualFoxPro and C. It shocked me because, when I typed a line-per-line of codes, they became useful program and In my school, I’ve always tried to help my teachers fix to their computer, and my teachers like it, even though my grades are not that good. In the end of elementary school, I met Linux and Unix, which made me interested more to computers. Not for long, I became a Junior Linux Administrator in an Indonesian forum and I never wanted to be in one place, because the world of computers was vast.

In the middle of 2007, my father has a job in the Middle East, which made my family left our home country. This is the first time I study other people’s culture, where I am befriended with a lot of foreigners, with a British Curriculum I go to school at Cambridge International School, where we are shaped up for university. I took Science and IT subjects, which are essential for my major.

I discovered that in here is easy to access the Internet in here which made me learn more about computers. In the early 2008, I joined an wideworld underground security community. It was surprising that I still have a lot more to learn. I love learning how websites work, the social communities that surround them, the news and hype surrounding websites (especially search engines), and I especially love administering the servers upon which they reside.

And if you want to know more about me, add me up on any of social networking services or you can mail me on any of webmail services. (muhzulfikar@webmail services)
