Hosni Rachmani is Development and Operational Manager of Gravicode. He starts graphic and webdesign since year 2004. It all started when he was a kid, his parents used to bought him pencil colors, drawing books and LEGO (a very great toy for kids to improve creativity). On 2004 he quit from the Institut Pertanian Bogor University and open up a Computer store and Workshop with his friends Adiel, Adi, Randi and Putra. One day they decided to open a graphic design division to attract more consumers around their the neighborhood. So Hosni grab his mouse, install CorelDraw and start working on the tutorials. Weeks later he finally understand around 50% of the software and they start taking graphic design orders and Hosni keep on improving his skills by creating Computer wallpapers and logos. One and a half year passed and they finally have to close their beloved store because Hosni got a job in Nanggroe Aceh Darussalam.

In Aceh Hosni works for a Local Non-government Organization. His boss ask him to make a website. He don't understand a damn thing about it. He knows that people creates website using Dreamweaver, but he really don't understand a thing about HTML codes and stuffs. Trapped in that kind of situation force him to learn from ebooks and tutorials from the internet. 3 months later, boom!, his first website was online, it was www.acehoceancoral.org. It was ugly and the html code was a mess, but he's proud and his boss told me it was a nice website (he don't think so). He use Dreamweaver to comply the Aceh Ocean Coral's website and Coreldraw to create the graphics (Coreldraw for a website? that's a joke)

After his first website, he's crazy about web development start studying softwares like Dreamweaver, Fireworks, Illustrator, etc. His favorite place to seek for inspirations is either Best Web Gallery or Devianart.

In computing Hosni chooses AMD Processors (he hates Intel), Gigabyte Motherboard,  Gigabyte Graphic Cards, Corsair Memory, Seagate Harddisk, Liteon Optical Drives, Enlight Power supply, Enlight Case, Samsung Monitors, Logitech Keyboard and Mouse, Altec Lansing Speakers. Hosni loves Mac and Alienware but he can't afford it...
