I build AI-powered SaaS platforms, RAG systems, and scalable data pipelines.
What I'm looking for
I've built QIST, an AAOIFI-grounded LLM/RAG assistant for citation-backed Q&A, Shariah-compliance contract verification, and contract generation. I delivered its FastAPI/PostgreSQL backend, React/TypeScript interface, retrieval pipeline, and more than 470 automated backend tests.
At Thynk Tech DZ, I lead a six-person team recovering a Django/React PRM/CRM platform and help scope a mobile-first, multi-tenant childcare SaaS product. Earlier at CERIST, I built a Data Lake integrating relational, RDF, JSON, and PDF metadata sources on Hadoop.
