Hello!
I'm Mohamed Dardouri, an IT entrepreneur and the CEO & Co-Founder of Mahd.Group. With a deep passion for technology and innovation, I have dedicated my career to building and leading successful ventures in the tech industry.

Professional Journey:

I currently lead Mahd.Group, where we maintain the Tayara Group codebase and invest in groundbreaking platforms such as Zayn a perfectly tuned booking & AI-based marketing system for Beauty centers. Automato, an AI-based customer retention platform, and Sawi, a micro-ERP system. We also successfully delivered BitMal platform in Saudi Arabia.

Before Mahd.Group, I served as the CTO at Tayara Group, the national leader in online classified advertisements, where I spearheaded technical advancements and architectural overhauls. At Quicktext, the world leader in AI-based chatbot messaging for hotels, I led the technical team to meet the complex requirements of global hotel groups, implemented robust CI/CD processes and Kubernetes migrations and take the AI engine to the next level for a perfect customer experience. My tenure at Astrolab Agency involved transforming company workflows to Extreme Programming methodologies and contributing to the Free Software community.

Technical Expertise:

My technical skill set is broad and deep, covering areas such as:

  • Project Management: Balancing quality, cost, and timely delivery.
  • Team Leadership: Fostering team integration, efficiency, and motivation.

Outside of my professional work, I am actively involved in community and social initiatives. As Vice President of "ActionPlus" and a member of "CLibre" and "Univers Libre," I have organized cultural and tech events, including the "Festival Numérique Libre" and hosting Richard Stallman in Tunisia. I have also contributed to open-source projects, such as the IoSync module for NodeJS and enhancements to Rust's MongoDB driver adapter.

I enjoy engaging in various tech projects and experiments, from developing a real-time video-surveillance analysis platform to creating a micro operating system using Intel’s 8086 assembly language. My curiosity also extends to building personal servers.
