MOHAMED KOBAA
I’m a software engineer and student at 1337 Khouribga (42 Network). I build on the web, create interactive experiences with Unity/3D, and dig into low‑level systems—C/C++, memory management, and performance.

ABOUT ME
Software Engineering student · 1337 Khouribga
I’m Mohamed Kobaa — a software engineering student at 1337 Khouribga (42 Network). I love building things that sit at the edge between systems and experience: efficient code, smooth interfaces, and interactive worlds.
I work across modern web stacks (TypeScript, React, Next.js), game/3D tooling (Unity, Three.js), and low‑level foundations (C, C++, memory management, performance tuning). I care about how data moves, how frames render, and how users feel the result.
My focus: learn fast, stay curious, build deliberately. Whether it’s a rendering experiment, a multiplayer mechanic prototype, or a lean web platform—clarity, reliability, and iteration come first.
