Football coach and web developer

I coach the U19s at Ansar Bouznika Football Club and sit on the senior team staff. I hold the CAF C diploma and the FRMF Licence D, and I work as a self-employed web developer — originally from Boujad, based in Mohammedia.

My playing background runs through the Moroccan academy system: Union Sportive Bejaad from U14 to U18, Olympique Club de Khouribga at U19, then Jeunesse Sportive Oulad Abdoun at U21 and first team. I stopped club football at 22 as studies and work took priority, but I never stopped playing — trials with TFA in Sharjah and Royal FC in Ras Al Khaimah, and amateur football across eight countries.

On the technical side I work as an auto-entrepreneur in Morocco. I have run CarteCadeaux.ma since 2019, and I build web and mobile applications, with Shopify full-stack development and SEO alongside. Before that I was Chief Product Officer and SEO consultant at Overflow Digital Solutions, and in 2017 I represented Morocco in Web Design and Development at WorldSkills in Abu Dhabi. I hold a Master’s in Computer Engineering, Big Data and Cloud Computing from ENSET Mohammedia.

The two disciplines inform each other more than they appear to. Coaching is the practice of breaking something complex into a session a group can actually follow; engineering is the practice of making the tool disappear behind the work. I built MySoccerPad because the session planner I needed did not exist.
