How I put these tools to work.

  • Ownership that moves work

    I help teams remove blockers, make decisions and keep delivery moving.

  • Quality is the default

    Relentless focus and craft, so “done” means ready for the stores, not just ready for a demo.

  • Clear UX

    Make important tasks easy to understand and straightforward to complete.

  • Care in the details

    Build polished interfaces that feel consistent and considered.

  • Purposeful motion

    Use animation to guide attention and explain changes.

  • Teams that ship faster

    I bring new testing and delivery techniques and a deployment process that gets apps to customers fast, and keeps them reliable.

Experience / In practice

Experience, shaped by doing.

I turn problems into products with a clear path to market—bringing together thoughtful design, scalable code and the people needed to build them.

Senior Tech Lead at Walycash

I take ownership of difficult problems, unblock teams and turn business needs into products people can use. My leadership has ranged from small teams of three to an Enactus team of 200.

Based in Casablanca, Morocco. Open to freelance projects and recruitment conversations across Morocco, North Africa and beyond.

A career built by shipping

  1. 2019 · First store release

    Released my first app to app stores with Les Petits Amies in Portugal, followed by My Essouria and La Route des Empires in Morocco, working with the state and the French embassy.

  2. Early leadership

    Built the Maroc24 app and led engineering; led a team at Enactus. At Harmony Technology, I worked on Adala.

  3. Product delivery

    Led mobile development at Ticket.ma, creating a new stack, app, ticketing systems and scanners. Built eSimply at Nuitée and worked on the Prestigia mobile app.

  4. Technical leadership

    Led the start of Yakeey Pro’s refactoring; at Tech for Palestine, led work including the Jaywalk migration. Now Senior Tech Lead at Walycash, rebuilding legacy apps with new code and interfaces.

  5. Independent work

    Freelance work includes Yool, ICON and Laundry Service.

How I make technical decisions

Start with the business

Choose technology for the problem. Use Flutter for cross-platform apps where it fits, with Go, Node.js or Python for backend services when appropriate.

Make change sustainable

Organize features around domains with clear shared interfaces, shared design-system packages and a single source of truth. Model business and technical states explicitly instead of multiplying flags.

Build for the whole operation

Pair polished user experiences with maintainable code and administrative tools where needed, so teams can operate and evolve the product.

Release with care

Use automated and unit tests, deployment pipelines and pre-production testing. I also use AI-assisted audits to look for missed errors and unwanted code.

Services / From idea to delivery

What I can build.

From the first screen to the systems behind it. I build UX-first platforms, modernise what already exists, and lead the teams that deliver them, for clients across Casablanca and Morocco, Palestine, North Africa, the Arab world and beyond, in English and Arabic.

Let’s build something
