About Abdelilah

Who I Am

I'm Abdelilah Majid, a software engineer based in Morocco with 6+ years of hands-on experience in graphics programming, GPU computing, and low-level systems design. I'm obsessed with performance—both in terms of raw speed and elegant architecture. Whether it's squeezing another 25% out of a physics engine or architecting a GPU-accelerated system from scratch, I thrive on technical challenges that demand precision and deep understanding.

I graduated from 1337 Coding School (42 Network) where I ranked 2nd among 300+ students, consistently achieving project scores of 100–125/100. This wasn't about following specifications—it was about understanding systems deeply enough to exceed expectations.

What I Do Best

• Graphics Programming: I design and optimize rendering engines, from Vulkan low-level graphics to GPU-accelerated raytracers with BVH acceleration.
• GPU Computing: Expert in compute shaders, CubeCL, WGPU/WebGPU. I've achieved 200 FPS with 1 million particles—a 3.5x performance jump.
• Performance Optimization: SIMD vectorization, cache-aware algorithms, and profiling. I delivered a 25% speedup to a physics engine.
• Systems Programming: Linux, networking, FPGA/hardware design, real-time systems. I understand the metal.
• Full-Stack Development: From FPGA to frontend. I can architect microservices in Docker, build real-time WebSocket systems, or deploy WebAssembly.

My Values

Beyond Code

When I'm not programming, you'll find me exploring interests in Islamic scholarship—particularly dream interpretation in the classical scholarly tradition (Ibn Sirin, Al-Nabulsi, Ibn Shaheen). I engage seriously with Islamic jurisprudence and Quranic knowledge. I'm also fascinated by astronomy as it relates to the Islamic calendar.

I'm driven by curiosity and a deep desire to understand how things work at every level. Whether it's the subtleties of hardware architecture, the philosophical foundations of mathematics, or the spiritual dimensions of faith—I approach everything with rigor and respect for the complexity beneath the surface.

Current Focus

I'm actively pursuing:

• Graphics roles: Senior Graphics Programmer, Rendering Engineer, or GPU/VFX Specialist positions at studios.
• Freelance & consulting: High-impact projects involving GPU optimization, graphics systems, or performance engineering.
• International opportunities: Canada is a promising destination. I'm open to relocation for the right opportunity.
• Open source: Contributing to projects that matter, particularly in graphics, systems, and high-performance computing.

Let's Connect

Whether you're looking for a graphics engineer, systems programmer, performance specialist, or just want to chat about GPU computing, rendering algorithms, or the intersection of faith and technology—I'd love to hear from you.
