About me

Engineer by trade,
builder by nature

I'm a Java/Java EE software engineer based in Strasbourg, France, currently working remotely at Mirakl. I specialize in designing and shipping scalable backend systems — RESTful APIs, microservices and distributed architectures on Kubernetes and cloud platforms.

Over the past two years I've developed a deep interest in AI-assisted development — building custom skills and plugins for Claude Code and Cursor, and deploying automation agents with N8N and Dust.

I hold an Engineering Degree in Computer Science and am fluent in French, English, Arabic and Tamazight.
