“One day, a senior employee of the company asked my name and said Alim! I see a lot in you. They asked me about my education and my knowledge of computers. "When I told him that I had studied computers in school he asked me if would like to know more about computers. I said yes. I had 12 hours of duty every day. After finishing, I started working with him. During this period, I created a software application commonly called App.
"My senior showed my app to the management of the company. I was interviewed. Today I have completed my glorious eight years in Joho,” he wrote.
