01 / About

How I work.

I like products with real constraints.

I’m Amine, a fullstack engineer in Casablanca. I learned programming at 1337, part of the 42 Network. The work is peer reviewed and project based, so understanding the problem matters more than following a tutorial.

I build across the frontend and backend. I care about permissions, data models, failure cases, deployment and the details that make an interface clear to use.

Most of my work starts with a practical problem and ends with software that someone can use, operate and maintain.

Location: Casablanca, Morocco
Method: Peer review and practical project work
Focus: Web platforms, infrastructure, security and applied AI

Fullstack Developer

Multimedia Center, UM6P

Built the frontend and backend for a multimedia request platform used by clients, workers and managers. It tracks requests from submission to delivery, with permissions for each role, live updates and a chat assistant.

01Built secure authentication and permissions for clients, workers, and managers.
02Created the responsive Next.js and TypeScript interface from the ground up.
03Designed the backend API architecture and relational data model.
04Added a chat assistant that reduced repetitive manual work by roughly 40%.
05Integrated live WebSocket notifications across the service workflow.

AI / ML

Booking AI Assistant

Built an AI assistant inside my booking platform. I implemented the retrieval flow that selects ChromaDB for uploaded documents or PostgreSQL for booking data, then sends the result to a local Qwen model.

Python, FastAPI, Ollama, ChromaDB, Qwen2.5, RAG, Docker, React

Source

Project 01

# agent.py: request orchestrator
async def run(question, user_id):
    intent = await classify(question)
    if intent == "documents":
        chunks = await chroma.search(question, user_id=user_id)
        return await qwen.generate(context=chunks)
    bookings = await db.query(user_id=user_id)
    return await qwen.generate(context=bookings)

Scalable Booking System

Built a React and FastAPI booking platform that prevents double bookings under concurrent requests. I used Redis locks, PostgreSQL constraints and Docker Compose.

React, FastAPI, PostgreSQL, Docker, Redis

Source

Project 02

async createBooking(
  payload: BookingDTO) {
  // validate & reserve slot
  const slot = await findSlot(payload);
  await redis.set(slot.id, "locked", 60);
  return db.save(slot);
}

Security

Darkly

Found and documented vulnerabilities in an intentionally insecure web app. I wrote Python scripts to reproduce SQL injection, XSS, authentication and file handling flaws.

# exploit_darkly.py: automated test
import requests

def extract_data(url):
    payload = "' OR 1=1 --"
    res = requests.post(url, data={"username": payload})
    if "Welcome" in res.text:
        print("Exploit successful!")

42 Network Django Piscine

Completed 42 Network backend challenges covering Django ORM, authentication, REST APIs and WebSockets. Each exercise was built from a custom specification and reviewed by peers.

Project 04

# views.py
@login_required
def dashboard(request):
    qs = Post.objects.filter(
        author=request.user
    ).order_by('-created')
    return render(request,
        'dashboard.html', {'posts': qs})
