Fouad Rabah
Full-stack developer with a fighter's mindset - building systems that run themselves.
About
I'm Fouad, a full-stack developer and systems architect with a First Class degree in Computer Science from Manchester Metropolitan University. I build systems that run themselves: automation pipelines and data platforms that quietly handle real-world complexity.
My background spans software engineering, network infrastructure and digital systems design; I approach code the same way I approach training: with patience, precision and consistency.
When I'm not coding, I'm usually training MMA or wrestling. I've learned that the discipline you build on the mat translates directly into focus and endurance at the keyboard.
