Hey, I’m Mehdi — a full-stack developer working across frontend and backend. I spend most of my time building web apps, browser extensions, and AI-powered tools. I’ve been freelancing for years, working with different stacks and problem spaces, and I started this blog as a place to think out loud, document what I learn, and share practical experiences from real projects.
This isn’t a polished tutorial-only blog — it’s more of a living notebook.
Blog posts, technical notes, small experiments, and opinions from building things in the real world. Mostly about frontend, backend, architecture, and AI — sometimes messy, sometimes polished, always honest.
