Summary
Adil Houmadi is a freelance Senior Software Engineer with 11 years’ experience building resilient back-end and cloud-native systems, currently enabling streaming capabilities at KOR Financial. He specialises in Kafka-based streaming, data platforms and cloud infrastructure (AWS, Kubernetes, Terraform), and has a strong track record deploying production Kafka ecosystems for enterprises like adidas and Brussels Airport Company. Comfortable leading hands-on implementations and coaching teams, he blends platform engineering with practical developer tooling—creating Kafka Connect plugins, GitOps workflows, and observability stacks to simplify operations.
