Curriculum vitae
SalahAjouaou
Software Developer
Software developer building reliable web applications, APIs and automations, from first idea to production. I work across the full stack, care about clean and maintainable code, and use AI where it adds real value. My background in bioinformatics makes me equally at home in data analysis: turning raw data into clear insights.
