Ben Guerir
2021 – Present
Part of the 42 Network using peer-to-peer learning methodology. Learned how to become a real software engineer by working on projects using C and C++ that give you the ability to work with memory and understand low-level programming. Created interesting projects like a mini-shell from scratch which helped me understand parsing and execution, even how to create my own language. Built a C++ web server that helped me understand the low level of how Nginx or Apache work and understand system internals.

Client & Colleague Feedback
Endorsements and testimonials highlighting professional aptitude and contributions from colleagues and partners.
Walid was one of our best developers. He could take any design mockup and turn it into working code that actually looked good. What I liked most was how he'd ask the right questions when requirements weren't clear, and he always delivered on time. Great with Docker, writes clean code, and he's the kind of person you want on your team.
