Life

Live like there is no tomorrow.

I love to travel. A new city means a new language to stumble through, new dishes to taste, and people who change the way I see things.

Between two trips, I always come back to Oujda with a head full of stories to tell — on stage or over a glass of tea.

Stage

Theatre is home.

President World Animation pour la Création Artistique جمعية عالم التنشيط للإبداع الفني

I preside over World Animation pour la Création Artistique, an association founded in 2007 in Oujda by a group of young people.

It works in three fields: theatre and expression, audiovisual, and educational animation, with one belief: art and culture are tools for citizenship and development.

Children are at the heart of what we do: children's theatre and clown shows, performances in schools and community centres across the Oriental region, and the Festival International Clown Oujda, launched in 2016.

Work

Building software that holds up.

Senior Software Engineer GLS France & Tousfacteurs

I design, build and evolve web applications and back-end services. I like simple, reliable, well-thought-out systems, and teams where everyone learns from each other.

At work, they call me “the joker card”: the one who can adapt to any technology when needed. Alongside, I teach Symfony at engineering schools, and I've won four hackathons.
