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
- 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
- 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
- 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
- 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
LabLabee
- Validated lab environments simulating 4G/5G/IMS with Docker containers; ensured connectivity, QoS, and KPIs.
- Contributed to migration from DigitalOcean to AWS, building interactive documentation for training labs.
- Tools: Docker, AWS, 4G/5G Networks, IMS
American Corner Oran
- Developed Library + HR system with Spring Boot, ReactJS, MySQL.
- Improved efficiency: reduced manual admin work by 20+ hours/week, sped up record lookups by 80%.
- Tools: Spring Boot, ReactJS, MySQL
