About

State Engineer in Computer Science and Networks, EMSI Rabat, class of 2026.

Profile

I'm a State Engineer in Computer Science and Networks (MIAGE option), graduated from the École Marocaine des Sciences d'Ingénieur in Rabat, with a hybrid profile across generative AI, cloud and infrastructure.

I design LLM-based applications (OpenAI, Claude and Mistral APIs, RAG, AI agents and MCP), and I'm comfortable with the chain that takes them to production: public cloud (GCP, AWS, Azure), containers and orchestration, Infrastructure as Code and CI/CD.

My final-year project at CBI.MA compared 3-Tier and hyperconverged datacenter architectures. Alongside it, my homelab runs local LLMs, web services, and a site that passed 10 million visits.
