Software Engineer AI, backend, cloud & network security

I build backends and the infrastructure that runs them. A year on Gatewatcher's NDR solution (Python tooling, Suricata tests, Infrastructure as Code), a year on an e-procurement REST API at Etifak, and SimplyLovelySetups, a product I launched myself.

I'm at home where software meets networks and data: backend services, the infrastructure that ships them, and the monitoring that tells you when they break.

04 / AboutAll of France

In a few words.

High school and MPSI prep class in Meknès, engineering degree in Mulhouse, now Paris.

Away from the keyboard: sim racing, Formula 1, video games, astrophysics and aeronautics. I like terminal tools and discovering new technologies.
