About

I'm a Tech Lead and Full-Stack Developer based in Sousse, Tunisia. I started my career in motion design, which gave me an eye for interface craft that still shows up in how I think about products today.

At Armada, I grew from frontend developer to tech lead in under two years. I own the operations product line: Backstage admin platform, Driver App, and the DevOps infrastructure powering delivery across Kuwait, Bahrain, and Saudi Arabia.

Outside work, I contribute to open-source AI tooling, particularly MCP servers and developer workflow automation. I also tinker with cars, hardware projects, and the occasional CS2 game.
