A studio of one,
building the web for ambitious teams.
I'm Achour, a full-stack engineer designing and shipping modern web products. From first sketch to production deploy, with clean code, thoughtful UX, and zero handoffs.
Four ways I help teams ship.
Engagements scoped from a single sprint to a full quarter. Every engagement starts with a 30 minute discovery call.
Web applications
Type-safe full-stack apps with React, Next.js, or Astro. Authentication, billing, dashboards, and the unglamorous infrastructure that makes them feel solid.
APIs & integrations
REST and tRPC services, third-party integrations, and the data layer that ties everything together. Designed for the people who have to maintain them later.
Performance audits
Slow page? Slow build? Slow database? I find the bottleneck, fix what matters, and leave a write-up of what changed and why.
MVPs for founders
From a wireframe and a Stripe key to a real product in 4 to 8 weeks. One contact, one invoice, one ship date.
The tools, the tempo, and the receipts.
Loading contributions…
The tools I reach for daily.
Boring tech, used carefully. New tools earn their spot the hard way.
Things I've shipped lately.
Nestphones
A modern phone specs database and shopping guide with a polished UI/UX, AI-powered recommendations, and a strong focus on the Algerian market.
Motify
An interactive, open-source CSS background pattern generator. Pick a preset, tweak it live, and export clean CSS or JSX code.
Next.js + Better Auth + Prisma Starter Kit
A powerful starter kit with authentication and dashboard built using Next.js 16, Better Auth, Prisma, and shadcn/ui.
Notes from the workshop.
Microservices Without the Mystery
A beginner-friendly crash course on microservices: service-owned databases, how relationships work when every service owns its own data, and when not to use them.
You Probably Don't Need WebSockets
Server-Sent Events are often enough for live feeds, notifications, progress updates, AI streaming, dashboards, and other server-to-browser realtime features without building WebSocket infrastructure.
