Hi 👋, I'm Abdellah

A software engineer and open-source enthusiast, I enjoy keeping this blog regularly updated with insights gained along my life journey and topics that pique my interest.

My Story

Hello, I'm Abdellah, a passionate software engineer with a deep interest in database internals, storage engines, and how data is structured and optimized for efficient access. My expertise covers modern web technologies, applied machine learning, and contributions to open-source software. I earned my Computer Architect Degree from the global 42 Network, with a primary focus on data systems and low-level system programming.

My journey into the world of computers started in 2013, as a curious kid exploring PHP, trying to build simple landing pages with HTML/CSS, and experimenting with algorithms. Those early experiences sparked my fascination with how computers and data systems work, eventually leading me to dive deep into database engineering and system design. On my blog, I share insights and experiences, covering topics like query optimization, indexing, and scalable storage solutions.

My Projects

The goal of this program is to get me comfortable with the fundamentals of database internals. By that, I mean the data structures (B-Tree, B+Tree, etc.), indexing, hashing, storage, and memory management. I aim to implement a basic non-relational database, starting with an in-memory approach and later adding persistence.

is a serverless React application designed to streamline student transportation management. It generates optimized bus routes, organizes station stops with precise timings, and manages subscriptions for students and their guardians. The app demonstrates the integration of scheduling algorithms with external JSON data storage to solve logistical challenges effectively.
