About

Algiers, DZ

Hamza is a young creative engineer from Algeria — two years building AI systems, three building for the web, and a stubborn interest in the seam where the two meet.

The AI is where the harder questions live — how a model quietly leaks what it was trained on, how a camera reads a tired driver at fifteen frames a second on hardware that fits in one hand.

He got there from the shipping side: storefronts, interfaces, an analytics platform that had to work on the first try for people who would never read a changelog.

He is reading for a master's in artificial intelligence and data science at ENSIA, with detours through quantum computing at Latvia University and the Washington Institute. He keeps working in both directions, because the problems worth solving rarely sit on one side.

Capabilities

What I work with

AI Systems

Vision models that run on the device rather than the cloud, and the privacy work that keeps their training data from leaking back out.

Engineering

Production interfaces in Next.js and TypeScript — storefronts, dashboards, analytics platforms that hold up once real people are inside them.

Design

The whole surface: type, motion, and the thousand small decisions that separate software that works from software that feels considered.
