Alaa-eddine Kaddouri

VP Of Engineering, SmythOS

I was born in Morocco and got my start on dusty 286 and 386 machines, teaching myself Pascal and assembly. I loved taking things apart – hardware, software, anything with logic- and rebuilding them to do something new, or at least entertaining. My fascination with CPU architecture even led me to build a small educational OS for x86, thanks in part to a goldmine of docs Intel mailed me as a teenager.

At 17, I moved to France to study computer science and later began a career in engineering. In 2014, I co-founded a mobile gaming and gamification company, and since then, I’ve worked with startups in blockchain, healthcare, and AI… always drawn to projects with complexity and purpose.

Today, as VP of Engineering at SmythOS, I bring more than two decades of experience spanning telecom, SaaS, and enterprise software. I lead with empathy, design with precision, and stay grounded in one belief: great technology serves people first.
