I’m Amine Smahi. I live in Brussels, where I build things that matter.

Hey there! I’m a Tech Lead and Full Stack Engineer passionate about turning ideas into intuitive, user-friendly digital experiences. Currently leading the charge at Coachy, a coaching platform helping coaches across the MENA region, I specialize in both Ruby on Rails and front-end development, blending technical expertise with a deep understanding of user needs.

I’m the kind of person who thrives at the intersection of creativity and logic. From the database schema to the user’s click, I enjoy owning the full journey of a product — not just to make it work, but to make it feel right. I take pride in fostering collaboration, whether it’s with my team or clients, to ensure we’re always aligned on what truly matters.

With a strong foundation in the education and consulting industries, I’ve spent the past several years building impactful digital platforms that support learning, coaching, and personal development. From leading the development of full-featured education apps to driving product strategy at three fast-growing edtech and consulting startups, I’ve helped shape tools that empower both educators and learners. While my core expertise lies in edtech, I also bring some hands-on experience in the fintech space, giving me a broader perspective on building secure, user-centered digital products.

Outside of work, I am always exploring new technologies, attending events, and talking shop with other builders at meetups. Fitness is a big part of my routine, and I try to stay active at the gym or outdoors whenever I can. I also enjoy slowing down — whether that’s spending time with my wife, finding a quiet café in Brussels, or reflecting on what makes good software feel effortless. Always open to a good conversation, a new perspective, or a meaningful collaboration.
