Hi, I'm Wassim Boussebha.

A
PhD researcher at IMT Atlantique working at the intersection of distributed systems, storage systems, cloud computing, and operating systems. My research focuses on improving data movement efficiency in large-scale distributed infrastructures through novel storage and networking abstractions. My broader interests include Linux kernel systems, cloud infrastructures management and cloud-native apps( Kubernetes & eBPF )

Experience

IMT Atlantique

Doctoral Researcher · Contract
  • Conducting research on distributed systems, storage architectures, and cloud infrastructures, with a focus on reducing data movement overhead and improving resource efficiency in large-scale systems.
  • Designing operating-system and middleware mechanisms to optimize data transfer paths across distributed applications and storage tiers.
  • Investigating zero-copy techniques, caching strategies, and kernel-level optimizations to improve performance for data-intensive workloads.
  • Developing and evaluating research prototypes on Linux-based platforms using the Grid'5000 research data center.

Inria

Research Intern · Internship
  • Worked as an Open Source Developer in the STACK team, focusing on systems research and performance optimization.
  • Implemented a zero-copy system for multi-tier architectures handling image/video workloads, overriding Linux system calls (send()/recv()) to minimize redundant data movement across intermediate nodes.
  • Integrated Redis as a shared buffer, ensuring only lightweight descriptors were exchanged until the client fetched the actual response.
  • Achieved a 30% reduction in network bandwidth usage and 20–50% fewer I/O operations, improving efficiency in distributed applications.

Attraxia

Backend Developer (Part-time)
  • Built a secure auth flow (OTP, email verification, token-based login/logout) using Spring Boot adopted by 100+ users.
  • Designed a real-time assignment tracking system with Spring Boot (Java WebSockets API), cutting notification latency from minutes to milliseconds.
  • Containerized and deployed the platform via Docker + GitLab CI/CD, reducing release cycles from 1 day to under 1 hour.
  • Tools: Spring Boot, Java WebSockets API, Docker, GitLab CI/CD

SellSabeel

Backend Developer (Part-time)
  • Developed a web application in Spring Boot that automates the deployment of Docker-based applications: users provide a GitHub repository with a Dockerfile or docker-compose.yml, and the system provisions an AWS EC2 instance, installs dependencies, and runs docker-compose—cutting manual setup time from 1–2 hours to under 10 minutes.
  • Supported multiple concurrent deployments, improving scalability of customer applications.
  • Tools: Spring Boot, AWS EC2, Docker, GitHub API, Automation
