About

Engineer first, creative always.

I'm Hicham Ayat Gimenez, a senior full-stack developer who ships complete products — not just features.

Right now that means owning a production SaaS platform for a Singapore sports academy as its only developer and project manager: architecture, payments, security, deployment, and the client relationship. Before code, I trained in 3D art and worked as a photographer, which is why the software I build tends to look as considered as it behaves.

I work remotely from Spain, fluent in Spanish, French and English, and I'm comfortable running async with clients many time zones away — my current client is in Singapore, six to seven hours ahead.
