Portrait of Hicham Meftah

About

I’m a software engineer based in Morocco with 4 years of experience building software, backend systems, and the infrastructure behind them. I enjoy solving difficult technical problems, and I usually end up doing the same on weekends.

Experience

Built software for incident management, financial document processing, and legal research. Worked across frontend applications, backend services, data pipelines, and infrastructure.

  • Built an anomaly management platform that tracks building incidents and routes reports to the right service providers, reducing manual coordination during incident handling.
  • Developed a financial document ingestion pipeline that discovers incoming reports, validates and transforms their contents, and publishes processed data to downstream consumers.
  • Improved a legal AI agent’s processing speed by 4.6 times while achieving more than 85 percent accuracy in citation and source adherence, without caching or persistent embedding storage.
