Hey, I’m Ilyes
I’m a Software Engineer based in the Amsterdam area, Netherlands, passionate about backend systems, high availability, and building reliable infrastructure. I enjoy exploring how things work under the hood — from scalable architectures and distributed systems to networking, hardware, and self-hosted homelab setups.
This site is where I share what I’m learning, building, and thinking about — whether it’s backend engineering, infrastructure, performance, homelabbing, or the technologies that power modern systems.
