Summary

Hello! My name is Mourad Afakrouch, and I am a software engineer based in Morocco with over 5 years of experience building and maintaining full stack systems in agile environments like Scrum and Kanban. My expertise lies in developing scalable web apps using frameworks like Laravel and Yii2, as well as a range of other technologies such as MySQL, PostgreSQL, ORM, ElasticSearch, RabbitMQ, Docker, JavaScript, jQuery, ReactJS, AJAX, and HTML.

Currently, I am a Senior Backend Developer at Omnevo, a company that provides innovative ERP systems and smart E-POS solutions for the travel retail industry. In this role, I have led the architecture, analysis, and development of an ERP system that connects to a specialized E-POS and manages complex multi-channel food & beverage retail programs for major airlines like AirArabia, Sky Express, and Virgin Australia.

Prior to Omnevo, I worked as a Full Stack Developer at Mawahib, where I played a key role in the development of a platform for connecting with top talent and service providers in Morocco, featuring ONE-ONE-ONE video conferencing services. I have also worked as a Frontend Developer at MagnetoMedia, where I developed websites for clients and built an interactive map application for the Ministry of Justice. In my earlier roles as a Junior Full Stack Developer at mLabs and a Frontend Developer at Lysah-Export, I gained experience in web development, data scraping, and building interactive features and data visualization tools.

Thank you for considering my profile. You can find more information about my work experience and skills on my LinkedIn profile or by contacting me via email
