Anass Angra
About

I'm a full-stack JavaScript developer based in Rabat, Morocco, focused on backend development, system integration and production applications. I work with Node.js, Express.js, React, MongoDB/Mongoose, Redis, Socket.IO and REST APIs. At Caisse Manager, my work spans a restaurant POS ecosystem: backend services, KDS synchronization, printing systems, online ordering and back-office workflows. I build background processing with Bull and work with Docker, Linux and Nginx to deploy services and troubleshoot production incidents. My experience also includes full-stack applications using React, Node.js, Laravel and MySQL at Lea Joy. I'm interested in backend engineering, software architecture, SaaS platforms and reliable JavaScript applications.

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.

Engineering highlights

Evidence, not adjectives.

Real numbers and real findings — from testing, a self-run security audit, and hardware integration — behind the project above.

Testing & automation

~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.

448 tests · 4 services · 4 CI pipelines

  • Jest
  • Vitest
  • GitHub Actions
  • Puppeteer

Security & reliability

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

Hardware integration

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.

  • CUPS
  • Linux
  • systemd
