About
Tayam El Jebari
Backend & Distributed Systems Engineer. I build the identity, access, and event-driven backbone that lets a large microservices estate move fast without falling over.
I work on Albert Heijn's Transport Management System 2.0, where I build the identity & access control plane and design the event-driven systems around it. That means moving a microservices ecosystem off a legacy monolith and a shared static-RBAC gateway onto Keycloak, policy-based authorization with Cedar, and event-driven services on Kubernetes. My graduation project, a reusable event-publishing framework built on Kafka and Debezium, is now used across the estate.
I came to software later than most. I started in Social Work before switching, and that background is where my instinct for systems and the people who use them comes from. What I enjoy most is the layer where a domain problem becomes a clean, durable technical decision, and that's the direction I'm growing in: solution architecture.
