Background
I'm a software engineering student at 1337 Coding School, part of the global 42 Network in Ben Guerir, Morocco. The school's peer-to-peer model taught me to learn fast, think independently, and ship code that works under pressure.
My roots are in C and C++ — building shells, HTTP servers, and understanding systems at the lowest level. That foundation now fuels my work in backend engineering, where I design high-concurrency services with Node.js, PostgreSQL, and message queues that handle real-world scale.
I care about the things most people skip: race conditions, database locking strategies, non-blocking I/O, and the architecture that makes systems reliable. If it runs on a server, I want to understand every layer of it.
