Senior🎓
Top SchoolDavid Abdemoulaie is a software engineer and entrepreneur with 17 years of experience who runs Chicago Strength & Conditioning while maintaining a strong backend development background. He combines hands-on coaching using classic barbell movements and Starting Strength methodology with pragmatic software engineering skills honed at Groupon and through notable open-source contributions. His commits to widely used PHP projects like Guzzle and Doctrine demonstrate attention to protocol compliance, edge-case handling, and maintainability in core libraries. Equally comfortable debugging ORM behavior and refining HTTP client internals, he brings a practitioner's focus on simple, reliable solutions. Based in Chicago, he balances technical problem-solving with a passion for strength training, family, and an unexpectedly large board game collection. This mix of discipline, attention to detail, and community-oriented mindset informs both his coaching and engineering work.
