AI Engineer & Backend Architect

I'm Mouncef Ik

I design and build scalable agentic AI platforms with FastAPI — from architecture to production deployment. Based in Casablanca, Morocco.

Why Clients Work With Me

Most AI projects fail for the same reason. They start with a cool demo but never become a reliable product. Performance issues, poor architecture, rising API costs, and systems that can't scale turn promising ideas into abandoned prototypes.

I help businesses avoid that. I design and build production-ready AI software — from the first architecture diagram to deployment — so your product is secure, scalable, and ready for real users.

Currently founding engineer at Octolex (AI legal SaaS) and backend/AI architect at Nexhiro (recruiting platform). Previously at INNOVX and on Upwork as a Top Rated freelancer — I've shipped agentic AI systems, RAG pipelines, voice agents, and production FastAPI backends, not just demos.

Whether you're building an AI startup, automating internal operations, or adding intelligence to an existing SaaS, I can help you deliver software that creates measurable business value.
