From the author

I studied computer science at Badji Mokhtar University, here in Annaba, and I’ve spent five years building interfaces and the systems behind them, most recently pharmacy and maritime tools.

You work with me directly. When a Build needs a Specialist, I bring them in, and I answer for their work as I do for mine.

I work from Annaba, Algeria.

Recent work n., three fields, three builds

The three systems I’ve built most recently, each written up in full under Work.

1. Hadrel: maritime voyage risk; Voyage exposure for a ship’s security officer, before the ship sails: the miles and hours a route spends inside each risk zone, by route and departure time.
2. Ledgerdock: 3PL billing; Billing for small third-party warehouses: every pick, pack and pallet-week priced against each brand’s rate card and invoiced without a spreadsheet.
3. SigBase: prescription directions; Turns the free-text instructions on a prescription into structured fields that pharmacists review and approve.

Annaba n., where I work

Algeria stays on UTC+1 all year. When Europe and New York change their clocks, the overlap shifts by an hour.

Annaba: Where I work. UTC+1, with no daylight saving.
Overlap: The full European working day, and US Eastern mornings until about 1pm.

Plate II. My working day against the cities my clients work in, drawn on one clock. It covers the European day; the hatched span is where it overlaps New York’s, roughly 9am to 1pm Eastern. In summer Europe moves an hour earlier and Annaba doesn’t.

Questions n. pl., asked about me before the first call
