Abdeljabbar Elassali

Java backend.
Mobile apps.
6+ years.

I'm a backend engineer currently working on microservices and cloud infrastructure at Infosys, embedded with Charter Communications. Before that, I ran Appfairly — an app studio I built from scratch in London, shipping iOS and Android products for four years.

ViprMind is where I put the things that don't fit in a commit message — how I think, what I'm experimenting with, what I've noticed. Not advice. Just a record.

What I do

  • Java + Spring Boot microservices
  • Kubernetes, AWS EKS, Docker
  • Kafka event-driven architecture
  • MongoDB / PostgreSQL / DocumentDB
  • iOS + Android mobile apps
  • Firebase, REST APIs, Agile

What's on my mind

  • How I manage cognitive energy (tokens)
  • Learning only what the current problem needs
  • Building things people actually use
  • Why most information is noise
  • AI cognition and what it mirrors in us

Certifications

  • Infosys Certified Spring Associate — 2025
  • Java, Spring Boot, Kafka
  • AWS (EC2, EKS, S3, DocumentDB)
  • Agile / Scrum
  • JUnit, Cucumber, Mockito
