Hi there, Djalil here.
I'm a software engineer, and I write stuff.

About me

Want a serious intro? check my CV!

There isn't much to say about me, but here's a bit of context before you dive into my projects:

The name is Abdeldjalil Hebal or Djalil for short.

My approach to development is straightforward: Making things that users find useful, with a strong focus on ergonomics, minimalism, resilience, performance, and accessibility.
In one word: No-nonsense.

Speaking of nonsense, I am fond of "Alice in Wonderland" and its parodies such as Alice in Blunderand: An Iridescent Dream. Expect to see me reference it every now and then.

So, yeah, about novels, I read both fiction and nonfiction (mostly techy stuff).
Learning is fun. Also, I am a visual learner (whatever that means).

On a related note, I find joy in documenting the intricacies of my projects—be it through detailed READMEs, technical documents that read like stories, or comments that guide fellow developers.
For me, documentation is not just a necessity; it's the narrative that brings code to life.

Once labeled a "creative problem solver," I'll let you be the judge of that.

Why? To hire me, obviously... or to say hi.
Feel free to ask me about those projects (you know, the hows, the whys, and whatnot).
I always try to answer those questions in READMEs, but, eh,
