Hey 👋 I'm Badr

I'm a Moroccan-American software engineer from Aurora, Colorado. My name—Badr (بدر)—means "The Full Moon" in Arabic.

In becoming a professional engineer, I've found that I really enjoy learning new things and having to struggle through a problem to solve it. Lately, I've been starting to learn Go, developing small applications with it. Along with continuing to grow my knowledge of Docker and Kubernetes.

When I'm not writing code, I like to drink coffee, read a book, or hang out with friends. When I need to clear my head, I go for a run or listen to music. In the past two years, I've started to run much more seriously and started to sign up for more events. This year, I'll be running my first last-man standing run, in Ouray, Colorado. And, when I can, I'd like to run the Marrakech Marathon.

One of the things I've struggled with as a professional is "knowing what I know." To help with this, I’ve decided to use this website as a way to document and write about the things I’m learning. Currently, I’m focused on preparing for my Certified Kubernetes Administrator certification.

I'm actively looking for a new role where I can continue developing my skills, particularly in Developer Operations or Site Reliability. Ideally, I'm looking for a company with a mature remote working culture that strikes the right balance between flexibility and productivity. As a young professional, I'm passionate about continuous learning and growth, and I'm excited about the opportunity to apply my skills in a new, challenging environment.
