Abdessalam El Ghoul

I am a passionate and results-driven Software Engineer specializing in Java and the Spring ecosystem, with a strong focus on building scalable, secure, and maintainable backend systems. Over the years, I’ve honed my expertise in developing enterprise-grade applications, microservices architectures, and RESTful APIs, using modern frameworks and best practices in software development.

My experience spans the full software development lifecycle—from analyzing business needs and designing technical solutions to implementing and deploying robust systems in production environments. I am particularly proficient in Spring Boot, Spring Data JPA, Spring Security, and Spring Cloud, and I have a solid understanding of software architecture principles, such as clean architecture, domain-driven design (DDD), and SOLID principles.

Beyond coding, I enjoy taking on the role of a "concepter" or solution designer. I often collaborate closely with product managers, stakeholders, and cross-functional teams to translate complex requirements into clear technical specifications. My architectural mindset allows me to see the bigger picture and design solutions that are not only functional but also future-proof and aligned with the organization's goals.

I have experience working in agile environments and understand the importance of continuous integration, testing, and delivery. I'm comfortable using tools like Git, Jenkins, Docker, and Kubernetes to streamline development and deployment workflows. I'm also proactive about learning and staying up-to-date with evolving technologies in the Java ecosystem and beyond.

In addition to backend development, I’m open to full-stack opportunities and have some experience integrating with front-end technologies like Angular and React, as well as working with databases like PostgreSQL, MySQL, and MongoDB.

Above all, I value clean code, thoughtful architecture, teamwork, and continuous improvement. Whether I’m building a new system from scratch or optimizing an existing one, I bring a mindset of quality, responsibility, and curiosity to everything I do.
