About Me

Eight years ago, I wrote my first line of PHP in a tiny web agency in Tunisia. Today, I lead Drupal projects for enterprise clients across North America. But here's what matters: I still get that same rush when a complex problem clicks into place. I've migrated legacy systems that everyone said couldn't be moved. Built headless architectures before they were cool. Mentored developers who now lead their own teams. I don't just write code—I architect solutions that scale, and I genuinely care about doing it right. When you work with me, you get someone who treats your project like it's my own.
