About me

Product engineer based in Tunis, working with teams in Europe and the Gulf.

I'm Hichem, a product engineer with 5+ years of experience shipping web and mobile products. I've built a fintech app for shared payments and gift cards, an e-commerce platform for one of Tunisia's largest tech retailers, and features for a customer-loyalty SaaS serving retail and restaurant brands.

I care about the whole product, not just the code: understanding the problem, scoping the smallest valuable slice, shipping it, and measuring what happened. Most of my work is in Next.js, React Native and NestJS on PostgreSQL.

How I work

End-to-end ownership

From discovery and scoping to release and iteration. I don't hand off at the API boundary.

Outcome over output

Every feature starts with the user problem and the metric it should move: retention, conversion, support load.

Full-stack by default

Typed APIs with NestJS, fast interfaces with Next.js and React Native, PostgreSQL underneath. One person, the whole slice.

Remote-native

Async by default, clear written updates, small reviewable pull requests. I've shipped with teams in Germany, Saudi Arabia and Tunisia.

Watto

Watto is a comprehensive digital payment ecosystem enabling users to buy, send, and redeem gift cards—both digital and physical—as well as create and manage shared money pots (cagnottes) for occasions like birthdays or group events. Once a pot reaches its goal, users can instantly generate a voucher redeemable at partner merchants. The platform also integrates online payments, partner discounts, and advanced merchant tools for reconciliation and tracking. My role as a Full-Stack Developer involved building secure, scalable features using **Next.js**, **React Native**, **NestJS**, **PostgreSQL**, **Redis**, and **AWS**, ensuring high performance and compliance for financial operations.
