Hello, I'm Houari Bekkay, a software engineer based in Luxembourg. On a day-to-day basis I solve problems and build things with code👍🏼
About Me
I specialize in building mobile responsive front-end UI applications that connect with APIs and other backend technologies. With a passion for learning new technologies, I understand that there is more than one way to accomplish a task, and I enjoy exploring the best approach for each project.
I am currently studying Computer Engineering at the Open University of Catalonia, which complements my practical experience with a strong theoretical foundation. While my expertise lies in front-end development using NextJS, Tailwind, JavaScript, and React, I am a quick learner and adaptable to new tech stacks as needed. My philosophy is that a great developer is not defined by their use of a specific language, but by their ability to choose the right tool for the job.
