“A changing thing must give up some property and acquire the opposite property—What struggles with itself becomes committed to itself 1
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, and hang out with friends. When I need to clear my head, I go for a run or listen to music. For about two years, I've been running 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 developer 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 also 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.
