Senior software engineer · Ain Salah, Algeria
Make it work, then make it last.
At my core, I'm a problem-solver. I untangle complex challenges by leading teams and building software with the resources at hand. I write about what I learn along the way.

From a first backend job in Dubai to leading teams and managing development for US startups, to consulting for Swedish clients today. The full story, with the lessons attached, lives on the About page.

Four hats, one job: make it work.
Backend & API Development
Every great application starts with a hidden engine. My story begins by designing that core system—the strong, silent foundation that will power everything. I lead the team that builds this engine, making sure it's secure, fast, and ready to grow. We create the pathways (APIs) that allow every part of the application to work together perfectly, resulting in a reliable system built for the long haul.
Web & Mobile Frontend Development
This is where an application gets its face and personality. My work brings a creative vision to life, turning designs into a tangible experience for the user. Whether I'm building a website that looks great on any device or a mobile app that feels intuitive and smooth, the goal is always the same: to create a beautiful, easy-to-use interface that lets the user connect with the technology effortlessly.
Technical Project Management
A great idea needs a clear path from concept to completion. I act as the guide for that journey. I bring the development team together, map out the project in clear, manageable steps, and then clear any obstacles that get in their way. By keeping the team moving in sync and ensuring our technical work always serves the larger business goal, I make sure the story has a successful ending: a high-quality product, delivered on time.
Product Ownership Management
Bridging the gap between a powerful idea and the team that will build it. I start by listening to the client's vision and understanding what users truly need. I then translate those needs into a clear, actionable plan for the developers. By steering the product's direction from the very beginning, I ensure that the final result isn't just well-built software, but the right software that truly satisfies users and succeeds in the market.

Field notes
I write now and then.
Not often. Only when there's something worth saying. Lessons from the trenches, system design notes, and the occasional prompt that earns its keep.
