Hi, I'm Malek. I’m a Senior Full-Stack Engineer with over 7 years of Python experience, skilled at migrating legacy Python 2.7 codebases to Python 3, and delivering production-ready features with robust CI/CD in cloud environments. I’ve led migrations, implemented scalable deployment pipelines, and built web and mobile apps using Django, Flask, Vue.js, and modern cloud stacks on GCP. I enjoy turning complex requirements into reliable software, building DevOps tooling, and collaborating with cross-functional teams to ship valuable products. When I’m not coding, I mentor teammates, explore new technologies, and strive to improve system reliability and developer experience.

    DEAN ElimuGo is an Android application intended to retrieve, present and share educational content. It’s purpose is to provide a simple and easy accessible application that provides both Internet based, ElimuPi WiFi network and peer-to-peer data access.

    The application shares (educational) content in environments where internet connectivity is not available, slow and/or expensive. As content can be sizable (MP4 videos, MP3 audio, etc) the available sharing options try to utilize local resources and only use direct internet connections when explicitly selected.

    By allowing local file transfers content can be shared and people can view them by using the DKC application.
