I'm Anass Ez-zouaine — Senior Lead Backend Engineer, Software Architect, and AI Engineer based in Meknes, Morocco 🇲🇦. 12+ years shipping production code. Remote-only since 2014. Consulting since 2022.
I ship production backends, Shopify Plus apps, and AI features that survive real users — Laravel + Anthropic Claude + pgvector, every day. Pragmatic AI that ships, not vibes.
Currently: productionizing agentic commerce, MCP servers, and RAG pipelines on Laravel + Shopify.
Status: Open for senior / lead / advisory engagements.
- MVP Build (4–12 weeks) — Architecture, auth, multi-tenancy, billing, CI/CD, zero-downtime deploy
- AI Integration Sprint (2–4 weeks) — Claude API + tool use, MCP server build, RAG + hybrid search, eval harness, cost guardrails
- Shopify Plus App — Embedded admin, billing + dunning, Catalog / Orders / Customer APIs, protected customer data review
- Architecture Audit — 1-week deep audit, risk + cost report, 12-week remediation plan
