About

I build software at Imbus AG in Bavaria, where I have spent the better part of seven years working on TestBench, their test management platform, first alongside my computer science degree, now full time.

The path here started in Casablanca, with a technician diploma, a bachelor's degree, and three internships: a software house, a transport insurer, an environmental association. Building a store management tool, moving an insurance application to the web, and putting a non-profit's programme online taught me how differently the same craft looks depending on who it serves.

Then I moved to Germany, took a second bachelor's at the University of Bamberg in Software Systems Science, and kept building the whole way through.

I work in Java, C#, and .NET, with SQL underneath and the web on top.

I also speak four languages, which has been quietly useful in a field where most of the work is understanding what someone actually meant.
