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.
I became involved in computers. when 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.
Some programming language like Delphi, VisualFoxPro and C. It shocked me because, when I typed a line-per-line of codes, they became useful program. 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.

This is the first time I study other people's culture, where I am befriended with a lot of foreigners, with a British Curriculum, where we are shaped up for university. I took Science and IT subjects, which are essential for my major.

The basic curriculum I received in this school is just like the one in Indonesia. There are a lot of things I've learned, from Humanitarian, History, and even Religion. With sloping-like grades, even though there are lots of downfalls, I still graduate with a good result.
