Hey, I’m Badr.
Web craftsman & AI tinkerer
I’m a software engineer with a background in web development and automation. These days, I’m especially interested in AI and agents: how they handle tool calling & orchestration, engineer context and memory, and actually ship in production systems.
This is my personal corner of the internet. A place for things I’m learning, ideas I’m exploring, and good explanations worth coming back to.
Today’s moon0% illuminatedBadr means “full moon” in Arabic.
Things I’m curious about
- AI & agents
- Tool orchestration, context engineering & memory, and what actually makes agents reliable in production (not just demos).
- Software & automation
- APIs, connected systems, and making repetitive work more reliable.
- Learning by building
- Small experiments, practical decisions, and the things a finished product teaches you.
