About

About me.

Physical security & full-stack engineering.

I'm Amine ELKHAL, 37, a Moroccan engineer and Director at BlackBytes, where I lead a team of 20 on large-scale security deployments: video surveillance, access control, intrusion detection, automatic barriers and bollards, centralised hypervision.

I'm also a full-stack developer: I design and build the platforms that run those systems — OCTOPUS, OUBOUR — and I have taught web technologies for fifteen years at SUPINFO and YNOV.

It's the same approach on both sides: understand the need, draw the architecture, and stay accountable through to commissioning.
