What I'm looking for

I’m open to full-time roles that can be remote, hybrid or on-site.

At Retain Health, Inc., I’m a core contributor to RetainYourBrain, a healthcare platform serving 30,000+ users. I built a dynamic form engine for personalized routines and recommendations, and created reusable front-end services that reduce redundant API calls.

At Wequity, I was team lead on NORA, an AI document processing platform for lawyers and notaries. I built a RAG knowledge base with source citations and developed LLM-powered document workflows, including OCR for scanned PDFs.

I founded MenuMate, a multi-tenant restaurant ordering SaaS where restaurants publish digital menus and receive orders on a real-time dashboard. I added transactional order handling and row-level security to help prevent empty or duplicate tickets and keep restaurant data separate.

I also rebuilt Internly into Nextward, a bilingual jobs platform with 900+ live roles, and launched KartaTunisie, an online gift card and game credit store. As a freelance developer on Upwork, I build web apps, booking systems, Shopify themes and online stores for international clients.
