About Me
Hello there, and welcome to my website!
I'm Youssef Bouryal, a software developer with over 2 years of programming experience and a bachelor's degree in Applied Finance. Currently advancing my technical skills at 1337 coding school (part of the 42 Network), I focus on low-level systems programming and web development.
My journey combines an analytical finance background with technical problem-solving abilities, allowing me to create efficient, scalable software solutions. Selected through the rigorous "Piscine" admission process with less than 15% acceptance rate, I'm developing strong problem-solving skills through algorithm challenges and complex system design.
I thrive in collaborative environments and enjoy tackling complex technical challenges. My experience spans multiple programming languages including C, Python, JavaScript, and Bash, with particular interests in web development and systems programming.
Beyond technical skills, I value effective communication and teamwork. My background in finance has equipped me with strong analytical thinking and attention to detail that transfers well to software development contexts.
Thank you for visiting my website. If you'd like to discuss potential collaborations or opportunities, please don't hesitate to reach out through the contact section below.
