About
A bit more about me.
I'm Mosseab Chakrani, a self-taught full-stack developer based in Germany. I build clean interfaces on top of robust, scalable backend systems, and keep them running reliably in production.
My work spans frontend frameworks, backend APIs, databases, and Linux servers: from configuring nginx and deployments to log rotation and general DevOps. I care about clean code, thoughtful UX, and shipping things that actually work. I work with clients and teams in both English and German.
Story
My first contact with code was in 2013, back in high school in Morocco. I taught myself HTML and CSS from a Site du Zéro PDF (the site is now OpenClassrooms), then kept going with Grafikart and a CD I bought that had a full PHP and MySQL course on it. Every source taught me tricks the others didn't.
Late 2013 I built my first real website, for my Counter-Strike community. It started as a static landing page and grew from there: Gulp.js to handle the build, then PHP and MySQL once a static page stopped being enough and the community needed accounts and real data behind it. That was my first backend work, and it stuck.
I finished school on an economics and business management track and kept coding on the side the whole way through. In 2019 that side work picked up: GTA 5 modding with Lua, contributions to open source, and Mavisbot, a Discord bot in TypeScript with Eris.js and a dashboard that started in Vue.js and later moved to React.
In 2020 I went all in with Academind and started taking freelance work on Upwork for clients around the world. In 2023 I moved to Berlin, joined Live Proxies, and have been building full time as a full-stack developer since.
Learning
These days most of my structured learning happens on Academind Pro. A few courses I have completed and can recommend:
Plus many more through the Pro subscription. Right now I'm getting my hands dirty with Go.
