Profile Summary
I live between two worlds that are not supposed to talk to
each other. By day, I study how language shapes meaning:
phonemes, discourse, the architecture of communication. By
night, I audit systems, configure terminals, and build things
that actually run.
I am a linguistics student who ships web platforms. A
bʌɪlɪŋɡwəl researcher who holds cybersecurity certifications
from Cisco and Fortinet. A community builder who coded a
real-time meal distribution system for 200+ students during
Ramadan, alone, on zero budget, because the problem was real
and no one else was going to fix it.
Most people pick a lane. I find that limiting. I do not have a
niche. I have a vantage point.

Sofra
HTML · CSS · JavaScript · Firebase · Cloudflare Pages
Sofra is a volunteer project I built for a student association
at the Faculty of Medicine and Pharmacy of Casablanca during
Ramadan 2026. The association was organizing daily Iftar meals
for over 200 students but had no system to manage it.
Everything was done manually with paper lists and WhatsApp
messages. I designed and built a digital platform from scratch
with Claude AI that allowed the team to register students,
track who received their meal each day, manage volunteers, and
send announcements; All in real time from their phones. My
role covered everything: understanding what the team needed,
designing the solution, building it, and supporting the team
during distribution days.
