Tunisian · Self-taught developer · Founder

From my first business in Tunisia to student tools and iOS apps, I build projects that grow out of everyday needs and my own curiosity.

About me

I’m a Tunisian, second-year Computer Science student at EPFL. I started coding at eight, teaching myself as I went. Building things became my way of learning, whether that meant a website for a local business or a product of my own.

My first company, TunisianPass, taught me to work with restaurants and shops and turn an idea into a service people actually used. Since then, I have sold websites to companies and built apps around studying, fitness, and daily life.

Hackathons give me another way to explore. At EPFL and START HACK, I worked on ideas as different as dating through Telegram and protecting customers from the wrong AI purchases.
