DevOps & Cloud Engineer
DevOps & Cloud Engineer
Backend and infrastructure engineer — Python, FastAPI and containers, with a standing interest in distributed systems.
Selected work
A few projects that shaped how I think about infrastructure, education, and community.
Stateless HTTP service that generates, decodes and validates QR codes and barcodes from a single container — no database, no GUI, no SaaS. Written in Go and shipped as a signed distroless image with an SBOM and build provenance.
Open dataset of Algeria administrative divisions — 69 wilayas, 591 daïras and 1541 communes, reflecting the 2025/2026 reform. Trilingual names plus postal codes, shipped as plain JSON with no runtime dependencies.
Master's thesis project: fine-tuning Transformers and LLMs to detect fake news in Algerian Darija. Published at IEEE RIF 2025.
Always leveling up
What I'm actively deepening right now.
Building AWS fluency for cloud engineering roles. Skipped Cloud Practitioner and went straight to Solutions Architect Associate — roughly 70% through the material.
Moving from foundational Kubernetes knowledge to production-grade skills — GitOps, operators, and scaling patterns.
Deepening Infrastructure-as-Code skills — modules, remote state, and multi-environment patterns.
In print
Books, essays, and long-form pieces on systems and the people who build them.
AI-driven fake news detection using fine-tuned Transformers and Large Language Models on Algerian dialect data. Addresses low-resource NLP challenges.
Recent Master's graduate seeking a first role in Cloud, DevOps, or Platform Engineering. Available to start now. Open to remote-first or hybrid positions globally.
