01 — Origin

At eight years old, I opened my first computer with a screwdriver. I needed to see what was inside. That curiosity never left.

I once washed a DELL desktop with water, convinced it needed cleaning. It didn't survive. But I learned something that day about the distance between intention and understanding.

Later, I organized two hackathons across Moroccan engineering schools — no experience, no sleep, exams running in parallel. Chaos, it turns out, is good training for architecture.

02 — Craft

I write software at Oracle. Backend systems, database architecture, the invisible structures that hold everything together. There is beauty in what no one sees.

The path here moved through C, C++, Assembly, Java. Each language a different way of thinking. Each one closer to the machine, or closer to the human. I'm still deciding which direction I prefer.

03 — Philosophy

I believe the best code reads like prose and runs like silence.

Data science, mathematics, systems design — I love explaining life with numbers. Sometimes the universe makes more sense in code than in words.

04 — Now
