About my
boring life.
A record of everything I built
It all started with an annoying task
Back in 2021, I wasn't trying to be an engineer. I was just trying to save time. I had this boring, repetitive task at work, and I thought: 'There has to be a way to make the computer do this.'
The first script
I wrote my first Python script that night. It worked. And just like that, I was hooked on the power of automation. I realized the web wasn't just about pixels—it was about data moving through pipes.
From scripts to systems
Automating one task turned into a real obsession with how machines learn. I taught myself the fundamentals—data pipelines, then machine learning, then the leap into LLMs and retrieval systems. I stopped writing scripts and started designing systems that actually reason.
Going remote, going global
I never wanted a single office or a single city. I built my career remotely, working with developers, teams, and clients scattered across the world. Time zones became my normal, and shipping across borders became second nature.
Four months building RAG in Austria
For four months I worked with an Austrian team on a retrieval-augmented knowledge platform — hybrid search and grounded, cited answers over thousands of internal documents. It taught me how to hold a complex RAG system together while a dozen people push code into it every single day, and that in retrieval, precision and source-grounding matter far more than clever prompts.
Nine months, two teams in Norway
Norway was nine months across two different startups — I integrated with each team so fast it felt like I'd always been there. LLM chat assistants, a RAG document-search tool, generative content pipelines. Build, test, ship in days, not months. It rewired how I think about momentum and onboarding: drop in, get useful immediately, and only harden the features people actually love.
Lessons from everywhere
I've worked alongside developers from Russia and beyond who could build incredible systems with almost nothing. That taught me resourcefulness: you don't need a massive budget to build a massive brain—you need clarity and craft.
How I see the world
I grew up speaking Darija, which is my native language, alongside Arabic and French. That early mix of languages shaped the way I think and communicate. I’ve always been fascinated by how learning a new language feels like unlocking a different way of seeing the world. Today, I’m fluent in German, French, English, and Arabic, and I also speak a bit of Spanish. For me, every language is more than just words — it’s a new way to connect with people, understand their culture, and see the world through their perspective.
Design and the stuff behind the scenes
I've always loved the mix — the craft of design on the surface and the complex engineering running underneath. This very portfolio is my playground for exactly that: creative, a little weird, fully hand-built, while I keep doing the heavy, complex work behind the scenes.
More than just an AI guy
I love the technical side, but I never forget that tech is for people. Whether I'm building a complex RAG system or a simple website, I always ask: 'Will this actually make someone's life easier?' If the answer is no, I'm not interested.
Present Day
I'm working remotely as an AI Engineer and Architect, building systems that actually make sense—not ones that just follow a script. I'm focused on practical AI: RAG, LLMs, and generative tools that solve real problems for real people, wherever they are in the world.

Tech is for humans.
Whether it's in Austria, Russia, or Norway, the goal is always the same: Build something that works, something that lasts, and something that helps.
