# About me

Welcome to my personal website!


With over 11 years of experience in software development, I specialize in creating custom, effective, and scalable software solutions tailored to your unique needs — whether for desktop applications, web applications, or websites.


My expertise lies in PHP and JavaScript, with a strong focus on the Laravel framework and Vue.js. I also have significant experience crafting solutions in C++.


However, as a software engineer, I don't confine myself to any single language or framework. My core strength is analytical problem-solving, enabling me to quickly learn and adapt to new programming languages and tools when needed.


I am trilingual, with Arabic as my native language, and fluency in both English and French. My proficiency in English and French enables me to confidently engage in technical and professional conversations, making me well-suited for diverse and multilingual environments.


Below, you'll find a showcase of the personal and client projects I have developed or contributed to.


If you'd like to collaborate, retain my services, or simply have questions, don't hesitate to reach out via LinkedIn or the contact page.

Artix

Open Source C++ JUCE Music Production Audio MIDI VST3

Artix is a powerful, free, and open-source MIDI Effect plugin designed to streamline music production workflows.
It enables producers to map MIDI channels to individual notes within a single channel, making it ideal for triggering multiple articulations on other virtual instruments, such as Native Instruments Kontakt. The plugin features a fully vectorized, resizable user interface for enhanced usability and customization.
With 39 versatile factory presets included — and the ability to create and share custom presets — Artix offers flexibility and creative control for every music producer.

Ziglite

Open Source Laravel Package TypeScript PHP JavaScript

Ziglite bridges the gap between Laravel's backend and the frontend by empowering developers to use route names seamlessly in their applications. It features two complementary packages:
a Laravel PHP package, easily installed via Composer, that compiles and renders configured routes, and a JavaScript package, available through npm, that simplifies accessing Laravel's named routes in frontend development.
Additionally, Ziglite includes a Vue.js plugin to enhance integration with Vue-based projects. This very website showcases the power and versatility of Ziglite in action!

# Interests

I have a strong interest in electronic hardware, ranging from microcontroller boards and single-board computers to full-size computers. I enjoy tinkering with the MOS 6502 and Zilog Z80 ecosystems, as well as exploring the capabilities of vintage Yamaha OPL series FM synthesis chips.


In addition to hardware, I also dabble in music production and enjoy working with Digital Audio Workstations. One of my ongoing personal projects combines my passions for electronics and music production, bringing together both worlds in a creative and technical endeavor.


Outside of technology and music, I have a keen interest in riding motorcycles, which adds an adventurous touch to my life.
I also have a particular passion for all things related to space!
