About me

I'm a software and DevOps engineer who builds real-time production systems. From July 2025 to July 2026 I worked at Haldorix for MARWA Corporation, building factory dashboards, monitoring workflows, FastAPI services, and WebSocket data flows.

I also handled deployment there: Docker, CI/CD pipelines, and running the platform on Kubernetes, with Redis caching for frequently requested dashboard data.

Before that, I did a remote internship with Avionav in Tunisia, working on drone-navigation software, and completed a specialized master's in information systems engineering at the Faculty of Sciences Semlalia in Marrakech.

Experience

  1. Software Engineer

    Jul 2025 - Jul 2026

    Haldorix, for MARWA Corporation · Morocco

    • Engineered real-time factory dashboards and monitoring workflows that improved factory productivity by up to 80% through bottleneck detection, station visibility, and faster decisions.
    • Reduced worker and order waiting time by approximately 30% using live queue, cycle-time, throughput, work-in-progress, and station-efficiency analytics.
    • Delivered FastAPI services, WebSocket data flows, workflow automation, Next.js dashboards, Docker, testing, and CI/CD capabilities that supported up to 30% revenue growth and more reliable releases.
    • Deployed and operated the platform on Kubernetes with containerized services and automated pipelines, and applied Redis caching to reduce latency on frequently requested dashboard data.
  2. Software Engineering Intern

    Feb 2025 - Jul 2025

    Avionav · Tunisia (Remote)

    • Developed drone-navigation software using AI-assisted decision logic, A* graph search, waypoint optimization, and obstacle-aware path planning.
    • Integrated telemetry and simulation data into testable modules for route generation, trajectory selection, and safer autonomous navigation.
