From pixels to platforms

More about me

I started out as a full-stack developer — three years deep in PHP, migrating legacy AS400 systems to the web, building APIs, owning the whole stack. From there I specialized on the front end: intuitive, responsive, accessible interfaces used by millions of people every month across Morocco's public digital services. Along the way I led teams, mentored engineers, and ran monthly knowledge-sharing sessions because knowledge shared is knowledge squared.

Then I moved back to full-stack, and kept going. Today I work as a Software Architect / Platform Engineer on Google Cloud — bringing a product engineer's eye to infrastructure: Terraform, Airflow, CI/CD, and the developer experience around them. The goal hasn't changed: ship things that are a delight to use and a delight to build on.

Upgrading an Istio Service Mesh: What We Learned About Rollbacks, Auth, and Capacity

A high-severity Envoy vulnerability turned a "routine" service mesh patch into a multi-version upgrade on GKE — and into lessons on configuration drift, revision-based rollbacks, execution identity, capacity, and verifying outcomes instead of objects.

When a Security Alert Sent Me Down the Docker Rabbit Hole

SentinelOne flagged pam_exec.so on a CI/CD runner — under /var/lib/docker/overlay2. Tracing it from file to layer to image turned a scary alert into a lesson in how Docker actually stores things, and in provenance.

When Security Met Kubernetes: My SentinelOne Journey on GKE

Installing a security agent on Kubernetes sounded like a one-liner. Deploying SentinelOne as a DaemonSet on GKE turned into a crash course in Helm, corporate proxies, internal registries, version pinning, CI/CD and platform engineering.
