01ABOUT ME
A developer who
stays curious.
I enjoy the space where solid engineering meets a clear human purpose.
I'm Abdullah, a software engineer based in Haarlem. I recently graduated with a BSc in Software Engineering from the Amsterdam University of Applied Sciences, after building experience across Java/Spring Boot, Vue/React and cloud infrastructure.
From secure services and microservices to LLM-powered experiments, I like understanding how the pieces fit together — then making them feel simple for the people who use them.
Aalways learning, always building
