About Me

Engineer with product sense

I'm Nouman El Allaoui, a software engineer focused on full-stack and mobile development. I work with React, Next.js, TypeScript, Node.js, MongoDB, and React Native to turn ideas into clean, usable products.

At 1337 School, part of the 42 Network, I built a strong foundation in C, C++, algorithms, Unix systems, networking, and graphics. That training helps me reason through hard problems instead of only wiring together libraries.

I care about the details users feel: fast pages, clear flows, responsive layouts, accessible controls, and code that is simple enough for a team to keep improving.

I am currently working at London Academy as an AI teacher and technical staff member, helping learners understand modern technology while supporting the systems and tools around the learning experience.
