hi, ikrame here.

I create stuff sometimes.

Based in Paris, I’m fascinated by high-impact systems and clean developer experiences.

/about me

I’m currently an Infrastructure Engineer at Microsoft (Azure, Paris). I’m also pursuing a part-time MBA. My background spans data-center reliability, networking, and secure software delivery. I care about pragmatic tools that reduce toil, clear interfaces, and measurable impact.

Technologies I work with

  • TypeScript
  • Python
  • React.js
  • Java
  • JavaScript
  • C#

Outside of work, I’m into science & art, & I play piano.
