Open source reliability and bug fixing

I turn hard-to-reproduce bugs into small, reviewed fixes.

I help database, devtool, and AI infrastructure teams reproduce correctness issues, write regression tests, fix failing CI, and submit focused pull requests that maintainers can review quickly.

Proof of work

Real merged work matters more than a list of tools. These examples show correctness debugging, test coverage, production guards, and product implementation across active open-source projects.

Database

Turso ordinal ORDER BY/GROUP BY fix

Fixed SQLite-compatible ordinal ORDER BY and GROUP BY handling through COLLATE and parentheses, with regression coverage.

Database

Turso savepoint rollback fix

Found and fixed a savepoint rollback/cache invalidation correctness bug, added deterministic simulator coverage, and received the project reward.

View PR #6626
Transactions

Turso DETACH transaction guard

Prevented DETACH on databases with active transactions and added SQL regression tests for read and write transaction behavior.

View PR #6521
AI Infra

SpiceAI Turso schema gate

Gated schema changes while Turso write transactions are open, preserving shared memory accelerators and adding a regression test.

View PR #10940
API

XMem API key hardening

Added API key scopes, expiry, org/project bindings, validation checks, and production storage guards with test coverage.

Product

Rustchain explorer and faucet

Built a unified Keeper Explorer and Faucet interface with a Flask backend and deployment-ready UI work. Received a 1,000 RST project reward.

Formation

Academic background only. The engineering formation gave me a scientific base for analysis, experiments, materials systems, and structured problem solving.

2021 to 2022

Bachelor's in Chemistry

Studied chemistry at Ibn Zohr University in Agadir, building a scientific base for analysis, experimentation, and problem solving.

2023 to 2024

Master's in Materials Engineering

Completed a Master's in Materials Engineering and Technology, focused on ceramics and cement, at Ibn Tofail University in Kenitra.

Independent builder experience

Separate from formal education, this is the practical product-building work behind my OSS profile: client delivery, e-commerce websites, WordPress customization, digital market research, and AI-assisted full-stack web apps.

2022 to 2023

Client digital services

Delivered practical digital work for clients, turning unclear personal or business needs into structured, polished assets ready to use.

2022 to 2024

WordPress and e-commerce

Built WordPress and e-commerce websites, handled domains, content, store structure, publishing, and developed small plugins or custom features for specific workflows.

Late 2024 to 2025

Digital product research

Explored domains, online resale workflows, and crypto research to understand pricing, demand signals, risk, positioning, and how digital assets create value.

2025 to now

Full-stack web apps

Use AI-assisted coding to build full-stack web apps with Node.js, React, TypeScript, APIs, and Vercel, then apply the same workflow to OSS fixes, tests, and merged PRs.

Services

These are the offers that fit your proof of work and builder background: small, clear scopes where the client gets a working output, evidence, or a reviewable fix.

OSS

Bug reproduction and small fixes

Turn vague bug reports into a minimal reproducer, root-cause note, focused patch, and regression test.

Best for open-source teams and devtool projects.

Full-stack

Full-stack web app builds

Build small web apps, dashboards, internal tools, calculators, and MVPs with React, TypeScript, Node.js, APIs, and Vercel.

Best for founders who need a usable product fast.

WordPress

WordPress and e-commerce work

Set up or improve WordPress and e-commerce sites, including structure, product pages, domains, plugins, and small custom features.

Best for local businesses and online sellers.

AI workflow

AI-assisted product prototyping

Take a product idea and turn it into a working prototype with clean UI, basic backend logic, deployment, and iteration-ready code.

Best for testing ideas before a full build.

Reliability

API and database reliability

Check backend flows, data handling, transactions, validation, schema changes, and edge cases that can break production behavior.

Best for apps where correctness matters.

Testing

CI and regression test rescue

Debug failing checks, isolate flaky behavior, clean test assumptions, and add focused tests that make fixes easy to verify.

Best for teams with failing CI or fragile tests.

Working style

The goal is not to send a big patch. The goal is to make the bug obvious, make the fix reviewable, and leave maintainers with less work than before.

Reproduce

Start with the smallest failing case I can prove locally.

Compare

Use reference behavior, logs, CI output, or documentation to pin down expected behavior.

Explain

Write the root cause in plain language before changing too much code.

Fix

Keep the patch small, direct, and aligned with the existing codebase.

Verify

Add a test that fails before the fix and passes after it.

Fixed-scope packages

Simple scopes make the work easy to evaluate. Pricing depends on repository size, setup difficulty, and whether the target is public or private.
