Back to original languageAbout Ayoub
Backend engineer specializing in high-traffic distributed systems — and the integration of AI in production.
Today at Avito.ma, the largest marketplace in Morocco, I design and operate backend services in Go (Kafka, Kubernetes, PostgreSQL) that serve several million users: event-driven architecture, microservices, high-throughput messaging systems. I also integrated a vision model (LLM, via Vertex AI) directly into the ad creation flow, for automatic category detection across a production taxonomy of 111 categories.
Previously: Software Engineer at Amazon Web Services (Berlin), Billing department. Double degree from Centrale Casablanca / Centrale Lyon.
What I bring to your projects:
• Go/Kafka/Kubernetes backends designed for scale and reliability
• Integration of AI/LLM into real products, beyond the POC
• A production-oriented approach: monitoring, performance, ownership
Accustomed to distributed teams and international engineering standards. Available for remote work.
