The thinking behind the systems.
Deep dives and the career series — written from production, not theory. Every entry traces back to a system that shipped.
01 
How I Ship Five Times More With AI 9,455 GitHub contributions in a year against 1,685 the year before. The system behind 5.61×: AI-written plans, parallel git worktrees, e2e tests, review gates. 02 
How I Built ParliamentConnect's ML Pipeline Solo The architecture behind a solo-built GPU pipeline that turns 8-hour parliament videos into attributed, transcribed speeches with 98% accuracy in 45 minutes. 03 
Why I Self-Host Everything Now How I cut a $700/month SaaS stack to €205 on Hetzner with Coolify — and why control, data residency, and AI-readable infrastructure beat the savings. 04 
Joining Baseloop as a Founding Engineer Joining a startup part-time while CTO at Veedoo: a no-downtime SaaS-to-self-hosted migration that produced three open-source projects and an npm package. 05 
AI, Self-Hosting, and the Road to CTO From writing GROQ queries to shipping a 98%-accuracy ML pipeline: how AI, self-hosting, and architecture-first thinking led to the CTO role at Veedoo. 06 
How I Scaled EveryRun from 80 to 17,659 Users Solo How one developer took a running platform from 80 to 17,659 users — stack choices, Neon preview databases, and the 30-page handover that ended it cleanly. 07 
From Morocco to Ukraine to CTO: Veedoo, War, and Humanitarian Tech Four years at Veedoo: a refugee shelter platform launched in 3 days, a crisis hotline scaled through war, and a blockchain evidence pipeline for the EU. 08 
A Moroccan Developer's Journey Freelancing at 18 from Morocco, a Computer Engineering degree in Ukraine, and five years of shipped apps that made a European consultancy come knocking.
