I'm Adel Merad, a full-stack developer and Software Engineering Master's student at USTHB (Algiers). I like building things end to end — from the database and the API to the interface people actually use. ☕💻
- 🔧 Currently building with ASP.NET Core, Next.js and NestJS
- 🔐 Recently worked on OAuth2 / OpenID Connect and SSO during my internship at Mobilis
- 🛰️ Discovered remote sensing and satellite imagery during an internship at ASAL (Algerian Space Agency)
- 🤖 Exploring AI applications: RAG, LLM agents and tool calling
- 🎓 Bachelor's in Computer Science (USTHB, 2025) — final project: a multi-seller marketplace with a recommendation system
- 🏆 Hackathon regular: NCS Hackathon, MicroHack, PEXILIS, Startup Weekend Algiers
- 🧑💻 Member of Micro Club (Developer Department & IT Section)
🌍 Outside of coding, I'm an athlete who loves hitting the gym, traveling, hiking, playing basketball and billiards, and getting into some fun with cars and bikes.
