I build systems that act as a force multiplier. My focus is on shipping solutions that solve real problems, which means my work isn't done until the team I'm supporting is more capable and effective.
This could mean re-architecting a microservice to cut costs by 57% at Deel, empowering a marketing team to be self-sufficient at Turing, or integrating an AI model at Al Jazeera that saves reporters 20% of their time.
You can ask my AI assistant about the stories behind my work at gourragui.com.
I believe in building in public and sharing what I learn. Here are a couple of projects I've created.
A simple but powerful tool that gives AI assistants the ability to "see" the web. It acts as a server that can take device-specific screenshots of any URL, giving visual context to language models.
My personal portfolio, designed to be a bold and confident AI-powered conversational experience. It allows visitors to interact with a chatbot that knows my professional story, turning a static resume into a dynamic conversation.
These principles aren't just words on a page; they are the framework for how I build software and collaborate with teams.

That Time I Broke Everything with Git. I messed up a rebase badly when I first joined CodinGame. My tech lead had me read the Pro Git book cover to cover. I've been a git wizard ever since.
