Senior🎓
Top SchoolSlimane Akalië is a founding engineer with 8 years of experience building scalable backend systems and product features from Morocco. At Journify he helps shape a startup’s core platform, and previously at Avito.ma he engineered high-throughput microservices (Elasticsearch, Kafka, Go) that handled millions of users and cut search latency from seconds to sub-500ms.
