About Me
Engineer & problem solver
I'm a full-stack developer from Morocco, passionate about building systems that scale. At 1337 School, an intensive software engineering program, I learned to solve hard problems with code and collaboration.
I'm fascinated by the intersection of systems design and real-time communication—how to make thousands of concurrent users feel connected, how to optimize performance under pressure, and how Docker can turn chaos into order.
I'm seeking a backend-focused role where I can own infrastructure, optimize for performance, mentor others, and build systems that matter.
