The through-line

Two halves of one engineer. On the left, frontend craft — interfaces that move, breathe, and feel expensive. On the right, real backends — distributed systems, computer vision, and self-hosted machine learning that runs on its own infrastructure. And across both, I build with modern AI the way an engineer should — planned, shipped, monitored, and safeguarded at every step.

Six projects, all live below. Each one is one click from working proof.

Craft — the light half

Frontend that feels alive. Real-time graphics, motion design, and interfaces built to feel expensive.

Systems — the dark half

Real backends — distributed systems, computer vision, and self-hosted machine learning that runs on its own cloud infrastructure, not a laptop.

About

I'm Ayoub Alkak — an AI Engineer and Full-Stack Developer based in Limoges, France. I build secure web apps in microservice architectures, and I can run machine-learning inference on my own cloud infrastructure — NLP, computer vision, and distributed pipelines — when self-hosting is the right call.

Just as importantly, I build with modern AI. I treat LLMs and agentic tooling as part of the engineering toolkit — scoping and planning the work, implementing it, monitoring every step, and putting guardrails and safety checks around what ships. Directing AI well is its own discipline, and it's one I take seriously.

I care about the whole stack — from a 60fps WebGL canvas to a fault-tolerant serverless queue — and about shipping things that are both beautiful and real.
