I build web apps, APIs and automation that work in production.
Full-stack developer trained at 1337 (42 Network), level 18.98 of 21. React and Next.js in front,
Django and NestJS behind, React Native and Flutter for mobile, and Docker, Kubernetes and DNS underneath. I work in English, French and Arabic.

Featured work
Things you can open and try
A full-stack app with a live demo, and an automation system that runs on its own every weekday.
Full-stack web app · live demo
Tijara: orders & inventory dashboard
A dashboard for an online shop, in English, French and Arabic with a full right-to-left layout. A Django REST API behind it, Next.js in front.
Stock rules enforced on the server and covered by tests: an order is refused as a whole when stock is short, and two orders can't sell the same last item.
Hand-made SVG charts: revenue per day with a tooltip, orders by status, sales by category and 30-day trends.
Prices, dates and charts follow each language, and Arabic mirrors the whole layout.
A demo mode runs the same rules in your browser, so the live demo needs no server.
A Python system that finds local businesses with a real website problem, builds each one a personalised preview site, and contacts them on its own.
