I'm a passionate Software Engineer with 3+ years of expertise in the full lifecycle of scalable web applications. My journey in technology began with a deep curiosity about how digital solutions can solve real-world problems.
Throughout my career as a full-stack developer, I've contributed to high-impact projects and open-source ecosystems—optimizing apps to run 3x faster, developing features for video streaming platforms, and building multilingual solutions. I specialize in React, Node.js, and NestJS, with hands-on DevOps experience to ensure seamless deployments, while actively giving back to the developer community through open-source contributions.
What makes me different: I focus on solving real business needs while building strong client relationships. I’ve built features that teams actually use—like live collaboration tools and smart dashboards—and provide long-term support to ensure lasting success. Plus, speaking English, French, and Arabic helps me work seamlessly with clients and teams across different countries.
"Quality is not a feature to be added later; it's a principle to be baked in from the start."
When I'm not coding, I'm constantly exploring new technologies, contributing to open source projects, and finding ways to optimize and improve existing solutions. I believe in writing clean, maintainable code that solves real problems efficiently.

Have a burning question about web development, career advice, or technology? Submit your question below, and I might feature it with an answer in the next edition!
What's your approach to learning new technologies?
I follow a project-based learning approach. Rather than just reading documentation, I build small projects that solve real problems. This hands-on method helps me understand practical applications and challenges. I also maintain a personal knowledge base where I document what I learn, which helps reinforce concepts and serves as a reference for future projects.
— Asked by Sarah K., Frontend Developer
How do you handle technical debt in long-term projects?
Technical debt requires a balanced approach. I start by documenting and categorizing debt items by impact and effort to fix. For high-impact issues, I advocate for dedicated refactoring sprints or allocating a percentage of each sprint to addressing debt. I also believe in preventing new debt through code reviews, testing, and maintaining coding standards. The key is communicating the business value of addressing technical debt to stakeholders.
— Asked by Michael T., Tech Lead
Given an array nums containing n distinct numbers in the range [0, n], return the only number in the range that is missing from the array.
Example:
Input: [3,0,1]
Output: 2
(Because n = 3, and the numbers 0, 1, and 3 are present, so 2 is missing)
As we navigate through 2024, the landscape of web development continues to evolve at a rapid pace. From new frameworks to innovative approaches, staying ahead of the curve is essential for developers looking to create cutting-edge applications.
One of the most significant trends we're seeing is the rise of edge computing and distributed systems. With platforms like Vercel and Netlify pushing the boundaries of what's possible at the edge, developers now have more power than ever to create fast, resilient applications that can run code closer to users.
Another area experiencing rapid growth is AI-assisted development. Tools that can generate code, optimize performance, and even design interfaces are becoming increasingly sophisticated, allowing developers to focus on higher-level problems while automating routine tasks.
"The most exciting aspect of modern web development is how quickly we can go from idea to production with tools that handle much of the complexity for us." — Tarek Chafroud
