I build developer tooling and AI-backed products — mostly TypeScript, NestJS, and infrastructure that deploys itself. 15+ years across backend, frontend, and cloud.
If you're in Lisbon, let's grab a cup of coffee. ☕
laranja.io — code-first deployment platform
Deploy a Node.js app to AWS or Azure from a single config file — no hand-written IaC. HTTP apps, cron jobs, and queue workers, on Express and NestJS.

The CLI never ships your cloud credentials anywhere — it compiles your app to a provider-neutral IR, the backend synthesizes the template, and your machine executes the deploy.
Plain English in, validated SQL out, executed against your live database. Every query runs in a Docker-isolated, tenant-scoped container with zero data retention.
🎬 Agentic AI — YouTube series now live
A hands-on series on agentic AI, in Arabic — starting from how an LLM actually works, then tool chaining, memory, and getting agents to do real work instead of demos, in both TypeScript and Python.
▶️ Episode 1 — كيف يعمل الـ LLM فعليًا؟ Completions API و Tool Chaining · new episodes on @FerasAllaou. Companion repo coming soon.
