Nousherwan’s vision for Apex Logics is to provide client-oriented reliable IT solutions and make the company the leading information technology consulting service.
He is also training university undergraduate students with new technology shifts and guiding them in choosing their final year projects through extensive internship opportunities and training.
Looking back on his time at the University, Nousherwan remembers with fondness the experience of being a student in a Campus by the river.
He said: “Sunderland is a beautiful city with amazing views and St Peter’s Campus has nice a location by the river. The University of Sunderland is a great place for learning. Lecturers always focus on student learning and on building up their confidence.
“The University Library, which is an excellent place for studying, and its computer lab are equipped with the latest technology.”
Talking about who influenced him most during his time at Sunderland, Nousherwan said: “I learned a lot from Professor Lynn Humphries. Not only her style of teaching was amazing but she was also very friendly and approachable. She was the supervisor for my dissertation and, thanks to her advice, I had the opportunity to work as an Intern for Hartlepool Borough Council.”
For Nousherwan, the path to success comes after a lot of failures and hard work. His advice to any student or graduate is simple – never get disappointed with your failures because these will make you successful one day.
“At the start of your career choose the company which provides you with the best opportunity for learning not for earning,” he added.
Nousherwan is working with large IT agencies like Google Ad mob, Unity, Heyzap etc as well as publishing games and apps on Google Play Store and Huawei Store. They have more then 100 games currently on Google Play and will be launching these games soon on the Apple Store. Their games have had more than 20 million downloads to date.
He now aims to expand his IT ventures to a global scale gaining international recognition and working closely with IT industry giants.
“My future plan is to take my company to an international level and would like to establish the head office in the UK, because in the UK my business will grow faster and I will be able to compete with international game studios,” he said. “Currently my team has 20 members and I want to increase the team to 100 employers in the next year.”
Nourshewan was finalist for the British Council Alumni Awards 2018 in the Entrepreneurial Award category.
