CTO
Sadeem Informatique
- Lead the technical department — architecture, development, integration, and DevOps — and write the technical specifications for the company's projects, designing their architecture before development starts.
- Started building full-stack Laravel projects, then shifted focus to backend engineering — REST API design, database modelling, and scalable system architecture — as the company moved toward larger, more complex products.
- Took on DevOps responsibilities organically: provisioned and maintained 11 Linux VPS environments, replaced manual SSH/FTP deployments with automated CI/CD pipelines (Jenkins, GitHub Actions, Slack alerts), cutting deployment time from ~2 hrs to minutes; put every environment under production monitoring with Beszel and Uptime Kuma.
- Led solution architecture on 2 major projects — designed a scalable, multi-tier infrastructure separating application, cache, filesystem, and database layers, with isolated pre-production and production environments.
- Mentored 5+ junior developers on backend best practices, Git workflows, and branching policies; ran code reviews and contributed to scrum ceremonies.
- Wrote 8 technical articles for the Sadeem engineering blog covering backend architecture and DevOps best practices.
- Built an in-house observability platform with NestJS, React, and TypeScript to monitor production exceptions, errors, and logs across client solutions, using ClickHouse for high-volume log storage, PostgreSQL, and Redis, integrated via an SDK.
