Moe Bachrouch

Hello and Welcome to my website! 👋

My name is Moe and I study Software Engineering at the University of Ottawa. I am fully bilingual and I've done a few co-op terms in the software engineering and software development realms, in both the public and the private sectors. I mainly work with Java Spring Boot microservices, SQL databases, and React.js in Agile Scrum environments to meet customer requirements. I sometimes experiment with other technologies such as Node.js and Express.js.
I have developed application features and helped build, test, and maintain products for clients in the wealth asset management field and for the Canadian public. You can view my resume here.

Here you can find my most recent experience and my skillset, as well as some achievements that I am proud of. As I continue to work on projects, I will showcase them on this website. Thanks for stopping by, and feel free to contact me for any inquiries!
