Rachid Benkirane

Senior Software Engineer with over 21 years of hands-on experience in the Java and JavaScript/TypeScript ecosystems, specializing in the design, architecture, and implementation of enterprise web, mobile, and SaaS applications.

As a Java Team Lead (3-8 developers) and Senior Developer, I bring 18 years of expertise in scalable microservice architectures with Domain-Driven Design, Jakarta EE, and modern frontend frameworks like Angular, React, and Next.js. I have led cross-functional teams throughout the entire development lifecycle, established best practices, and actively mentored developers to deliver high-quality software on time.

In the frontend, I develop high-performance, server-side rendered applications using React and Next.js – from customer-facing SaaS platforms to internal enterprise tooling. My SaaS experience covers the entire product lifecycle: multi-tenant architecture, subscription and billing integration, role-based access control, API-first development, and scalable deployment pipelines for Continuous Delivery.

In mobile development, I have realized responsive, cross-platform applications – from native Android (Kotlin/Java) to hybrid solutions – with a strong focus on performance, accessibility, and seamless user experience across all devices.

Most recently, I have expanded my profile with AI-powered software engineering, actively integrating Large Language Models and AI tools into development processes – from intelligent code generation and automated testing to AI-assisted decision support in enterprise applications. I leverage Generative AI specifically to increase delivery speed, improve code quality, and develop more intelligent features for end-users.

I thrive in collaborative, dynamic environments, combining a deep engineering foundation with modern technologies to create measurable value.
