Engineer, operator, and founder based in Algiers. I build production software end to end — application code, infrastructure, databases, observability, and the deploy pipeline — and I run it in production myself.
Founder of DZBuild, an e-commerce platform for North-African merchants: multi-region, multilingual (Arabic/French RTL-first), custom-domain SaaS serving live stores every day.
| Project | What it is |
|---|---|
| DZBuild | E-commerce SaaS for North-African merchants — storefronts, landing pages, order management, courier integrations, and analytics. Multi-region, multilingual, custom domains, real-time dashboards. |
| dzship | Free Algerian shipping API and courier integration kit. Create and track COD parcels across Yalidine, ZR Express, Maystro, NOEST, and Ecotrack through one unified API — with a typed JS SDK plus single-file PHP and Python clients. |
| ownz | Free, open-source, self-hostable link-in-bio and portfolio builder (ownz.net) — a self-hosted Linktree/Carrd alternative. RTL-first, multilingual, static-fast. Node + Hono + Drizzle + React. |

Data & infrastructure
Edge & delivery
- Boring infrastructure, battle-tested choices, written by hand. The right thing fast beats the clever thing fragile.
- End-to-end ownership — code, server, database, deploy, monitoring, on-call. If it breaks at 3 AM, it's mine.
- Production first — multi-region deploys, zero-downtime releases, Galera-safe migrations, incident triage under load.
- RTL and multilingual by default — software built for Arabic and French speakers, not translated as an afterthought.
