Profile

Engineer, operator, founder. Based in Algiers. I build production software end to end — application, infrastructure, observability, and the humans around it. Today I run DZBuild, an e-commerce platform for North-African merchants, with a small team of engineers and operators.

Before DZBuild, four years of full-stack contracts across multiple regions — e-commerce, fintech, internal tooling, security work — every stack, every shape of incident. Full story →

How I work

Boring infrastructure, battle-tested choices, written by hand. I prefer the right thing fast over the clever thing fragile. I lead with PHP and Linux, and I'm comfortable on Windows-Server stacks when the client requires it.

I keep a small team close. Most of what I ship is owned end to end — code, server, database, deploy, on-call.
