What I'm looking for

I'm open to remote roles worldwide, hybrid or on-site roles in Tunisia, and relocation abroad with visa sponsorship.

At ESPRIT – IT Department (DSI), I develop production web applications with Spring Boot, React and Next.js. I work with staff and stakeholders to turn operational problems into technical solutions.

For my final-year project, I designed and delivered an AI-assisted library management system with pgvector semantic search, a RAG study assistant running Qwen2.5 on self-hosted Ollama, and a secure document reader. I shipped it over 12 sprints and deployed it on Kubernetes.

I also built Blackboard-Sync and HubSpot-Sync integration services, each with a dashboard for running jobs and tracking statistics. My work at ESPRIT has included reusable JWT authentication, an appointment management application for Tunisia's Directorate General of Borders and Foreigners, and contributions to DigiFederation / Diplochain.

As a freelance software engineer, I run client projects from discovery and specification through delivery; I'm currently building a management application for an auto-parts business. I also build applied-AI projects, including a Tunisian Arabic voice agent, and founded Gameel, a beauty and wellness marketplace whose MVP is in internal testing.
