About Me

I’m Youcef Haouatis, a full-stack engineer based in the United States, with a focus on web and mobile app development. With two decades of professional experience, I’ve refined my expertise across many areas of software development.

I earned my degree in Software Engineering from ESI – Ecole Nationale Supérieure d’Informatique (formerly INI) in Algiers, Algeria, in 2004. My career began as a software engineer at Algeria Telecommunications Corporation (Algérie Télécom) in Algiers, where I worked for four years on a variety of projects as part of a collaborative team. This experience helped me build a strong technical foundation and develop key teamwork skills.

In 2009, I moved to the United States and joined a startup called “Supermetric” in New York City as a web developer. When the company merged with its client MBLM (Brand Agency) in September 2010, I continued to work in Manhattan. Over the years, I contributed to MBLM as a web developer and later transitioned into a full-stack developer role. My time at MBLM, working across diverse teams and industries, allowed me to further expand my skill set and gain in-depth knowledge of a wide range of technologies.

Since January 2020, I’ve been working as an independent full-stack developer, always seeking out new challenges. At the beginning of 2023, I worked as a React Native Contractor at Weidenhammer until the 4th quarter of 2024. Currently, I’m in a full-time role as a Technical Lead at Weidenhammer, where I continue to grow and take on new challenges.

You might be curious about the meaning of “YouDev.” Simply put, it stands for “Youcef Developer,” reflecting my identity as a skilled developer.
