Executive Professional Profile
Senior Software Engineer & Software Architect with 10+ years of experience engineering complex digital platforms. Specialized in bridging business goals with resilient, highly scalable, and long-lasting technical architectures. Covers the entire product lifecycle: requirement analysis, domain modeling (DDD), system architecture, full-stack development, automated QA, and cloud infrastructure. Combining software engineering with a strong background in Data Intelligence (Big Data & BI), I excel at executing greenfield products as well as modernizing legacy systems with zero downtime.
Core Strengths & Highlights
Pragmatic Software Architecture (DDD, Clean, Hexagonal, Modular Monolith) Platform Engineering, Multi-tenancy & API Design (REST, GraphQL, gRPC) Cross-Runtime Engineering (Node.js, Deno, Bun) & Vlang Systems Developer Experience (DX) & Custom Tooling Engineering Data Intelligence & AI Integration (BI, Dashboards, RAG, LLM Agents) CI/CD, Automation & Infra Orchestration (GitHub Actions, Docker, Linux VPS) Design Systems & UI Component Libraries (SigUI, Tailwind Extensions) Testing, QA & Advanced Static Analysis (Pest, PHPStan, Psalm, Rector)
Core Engineering Capabilities
End-to-End Product Engineering
Translates strategic goals into production-ready software: functional scoping, domain modeling (DDD), resilient API design, modern reactive full-stack development, and automated QA.
Software Architecture & Legacy Modernization
Pragmatic architectural design using DDD, Clean Architecture, Hexagonal patterns, and Modular Monoliths. Conducts deep technical audits, technical debt reduction, and zero-downtime refactoring.
Data Intelligence, BI & AI Integration
Leverages a solid academic foundation in Big Data & BI (Master 1) to build robust data pipelines, executive BI dashboards, and embed tailored AI capabilities (LLMs, RAG architectures, intelligent agents).
DevOps, Cloud & DX Tooling
Pragmatic and automated infrastructure setups: Docker containerization, reverse proxy configuration (Caddy/Nginx), robust CI/CD pipelines (GitHub Actions), and developer velocity tooling.
Professional Experience
Co-Founder & CTO @ Glaxuss Tech
2024 — Present Technical Leadership, Native Cross-Runtime Architecture & Cloud Infrastructures
Architecting and modeling complex decoupled software foundations for high-availability enterprise products.
- ▸ Architecture & Domain Scoping: Modeled complex decoupled system architectures built on SOLID principles and Domain-Driven Design (DDD).
- ▸ Cross-Runtime Engineering: Engineered native cross-runtime software foundations unifying and optimizing executions across Node.js, Deno, and Bun environments.
- ▸ Cloud Orchestration & CI/CD: Orchestrated high-availability cloud infrastructure and automated deployment pipelines ensuring seamless continuous delivery.
Founder & Lead Software Architect @ Sikessem (Digital Operating Ecosystem)
2020 — Present Modular Digital Operating System (DOS) & Multi-Tenant Foundations
Designed and built Sikessem, a modular Digital Operating System serving as a unified underlying foundation for modern digital web applications.
- ▸ Ecosystem Vision (DOS): Engineered a modular platform foundation supporting strict organization-level multi-tenancy.
- ▸ Core Module Engineering: Developed essential building blocks: Core, Auth, Marketplace, CMS, Learning (Studium), Communication (Shub), and the SigUI Design System.
- ▸ Ecosystem Tooling: Created Cup (a fast selector-driven HTML/Markdown template compiler for Deno/TypeScript) and Loom (a decoupled backend framework).
- ▸ Delivery Pipeline & Automation: Automated multi-environment CI/CD workflows (GitHub Actions), Docker deployments, and Caddy reverse proxy routing on Linux VPS setups.
Senior Software Engineer & Architecture Consultant @ Independent Consulting & Enterprise Clients
2016 — 2024 Custom SaaS, Fintech, Executive BI Systems, E-Commerce & Legacy Refactoring
Partnered with enterprises and institutions to architect mission-critical web platforms and modernize legacy systems.
- ▸ Legacy Modernization & Refactoring: Conducted system audits and executed progressive zero-downtime refactoring from monolithic codebases to Clean Architecture / DDD.
- ▸ Full-Stack Engineering: Engineered high-performance backend systems (Laravel, Symfony, PostgreSQL, Go) coupled with modern reactive frontends (Astro, Vue.js, Inertia.js, Livewire, Alpine.js, Tailwind CSS).
- ▸ Fintech & Financial Integrations: Integrated secure mobile payment gateways (Moov Money, card processors) and split-payment microservices (Spring Boot / Angular).
- ▸ Business Intelligence & AI Agents: Built custom analytics dashboards, automated ETL data pipelines, and integrated RAG architectures with LLMs for intelligent search and reporting.
- ▸ Enterprise Solutions: Delivered custom software systems for the Tunisian Post, multi-vendor marketplaces (Melanoderme), LMS platforms (Studium), and resort digital systems (Mawla Kiélé).
Maintainer & Active Contributor @ Open Source Community
2020 — Present (Intensified since 2022) Languages, DX Tooling, Web Frameworks & Automation
Creator of independent open-source tools and active contributor to major modern web development projects.
- ▸ Core Web Framework Contributions: Recognized code contributions to major web ecosystem projects (specifically Astro / Qwik integration).
- ▸ Language Specification & Compilation (Phi): Authored specifications for Phi (a PHP superset written in Vlang): EBNF grammar, lexer, parser, REPL, and strict error handling via native `or` blocks.
- ▸ CI/CD & DX Tooling: Created the
Setup JS GitHub Action for environment provisioning, along with Tailwind CSS extension tools (colorwind, plugwind.js).
