I'm 16, from Morocco, and I build things that help people focus, learn and grow: apps, robots, debates, and the occasional game.

About Me

I'm Adam, a 16-year-old student from Morocco passionate about robotics, computer science, and building technology that helps people learn and grow. I've competed in robotics competitions, explored competitive programming, and I'm building Nook, a platform that makes deep work and studying more intentional.

When I'm not coding, I'm probably training for maths olympiads.

What I'm Building

Nook

Founder & Software Engineer · Jun 2026 – now

A calm focus app that gets you started. One tap, and you're in. No streaks, no badges, no slot-machine brain.

Offtime

CTO & Backend Engineer · Sep 2026 – now

Make money when your Mac isn't being used.

Claven

Creator · 2026

A lightweight solo-built code editor on CodeMirror 6. It deliberately leaves out LSP, terminals and extensions.

CodeMirror 6 · TypeScript · Node.js

Math Log

Daily problems, unedited.

One scanned page of practice at a time, on the way to the olympiads. Wrong turns and crossed-out attempts stay in.
