Senior Full-Stack Engineer

Souhail Makni

I build production systems: scalable SaaS platforms, distributed and event-driven architectures, and AI-powered applications.

Laravel, Vue.js, Go, Python, TypeScript and AWS. Real-time dashboards, semantic search, and RAG applications running on fine-tuned models.
