Backend Developer & Software Engineer.
Building reliable backend services, APIs, integrations and production systems with Node.js, Express and modern infrastructure — full-stack in React where the product calls for it.
I'm a full-stack developer based in Rabat, Morocco, working mostly on the backend half of production systems. Day to day that means REST APIs, real-time features with Socket.IO and Redis, background processing with Bull, and services that run inside Docker on Linux behind Nginx. Most of my experience comes from building and maintaining a live SaaS restaurant-management and point-of-sale platform — where a change to one service has to be checked against everything downstream of it. I spend a good part of my time on the less visible work: tracing a slow endpoint back to its cause, closing a gap in authentication or token handling, or making sense of a system I didn't originally build. I also work across the stack in React when a feature needs it, but backend systems, integrations and production reliability are where I focus.
Systems built, audited and shipped.
Production employer systems, an independent project with a real security audit, and client work — each shown the way it actually happened.
Restaurant Management & POS Platform
A live SaaS platform for restaurant management and point of sale — React front end, Node.js/Express backend, MongoDB, Redis, Socket.IO and Bull, deployed as a containerized multi-service stack behind Nginx.
- Node.js
- Express.js
- React
- MongoDB
- Redis
- Socket.IO
- Bull
- Docker
- Nginx
Containerized multi-service deployment (Docker Compose)
Customer Queuing System
A Redis-backed asynchronous processing layer at Caisse Manager that takes an order from intake through background workers, emitting the status events that downstream services — including the Kitchen Display System — consume in real time.
- Node.js
- Redis
- Bull
- Socket.IO
- Docker
Multi-Tenant Photo Commerce & Fulfillment Platform
An independent, multi-tenant platform for ordering AI-styled photo products over WhatsApp, with wallet payments, an admin backoffice, and physical fulfillment through a printer agent — designed, built and security-audited end to end across four separately-versioned services.

Evidence, not adjectives.
Real numbers and real findings — from testing, a self-run security audit, and hardware integration — behind the project above.
~448 automated tests across four CI pipelines
Unit, integration and end-to-end tests across the photo commerce platform's four services (backend, backoffice, webhook relay, printer agent), each with its own GitHub Actions pipeline running on every change.

- Jest
- Vitest
- GitHub Actions

Self-directed production-readiness audit
Ran a structured audit against my own system covering authentication, multi-tenant data isolation, wallet concurrency, webhook replay and file-download exposure — then fixed and wrote regression tests for what it found.
5 issues found and fixed, each with a regression test
- Auth
- Multi-tenancy
- SSRF
- Webhook replay
Physical print fulfillment
Integrated a real printer (CUPS, systemd service) into the order-fulfillment path, then replaced an earlier socket-based print worker with a simpler database-polling agent once it proved more reliable.

- Linux
- systemd
Souvenia — photo gift storefront
A WooCommerce storefront concept for personalized photo gifts, built as a local demonstration — a custom WordPress theme and plugin, with a Playwright test suite and clean accessibility scans.

Caisse Manager
Full-Stack DeveloperMorocco
SaaS platform for restaurant management and point of sale, built on React, Node.js/Express, MongoDB and Redis.
- Developed and maintained full-stack features for a SaaS restaurant-management and point-of-sale platform using React, Node.js, Express.js and MongoDB.
- Designed and maintained REST APIs, business integrations and real-time mechanisms using Socket.IO and Redis.
- Built asynchronous processing and task queues with Bull to run background operations reliably.
- Analyzed the performance and stability of services and identified the technical causes of slowdowns, errors and abnormal behavior.
- Worked within a containerized multi-service architecture (Docker, Nginx, MongoDB, Redis), assessing the impact of changes on existing dependencies.
- Investigated and fixed security issues related to authentication, tokens, API access and data migrations.
- Collaborated with technical and operational teams to turn field problems into product improvements, documenting key behaviors and diagnostic procedures.
