Abderrahmene Fares

Software Architect · Full-Stack Developer · Founder of Dropdz

I build products end-to-end — from real-time embedded firmware to cloud SaaS — and ship them on my own infrastructure.

About

An engineer who ships the whole stack.

I started in embedded systems — a Master's in the electronics of embedded systems, where reliability isn't optional and every byte and millisecond counts. That discipline is the lens I bring to everything I build.

Today I design and ship full-stack products: SaaS platforms, multi-tenant ERPs, e-commerce integrations and always-on AI agents — backend, frontend, and the Linux infrastructure they run on. I founded Dropdz and build features end-to-end, from the database schema to production deploys on my own servers.

I like problems where hardware thinking meets software scale: systems that have to be fast, correct, and maintainable in the real world.

Right now my focus is building digital products and SaaS — Dropdz first. Embedded systems stay my foundation and a passion I'm open to for the right project.

The one I founded

Dropdz

Founder & Software Architect · 2025 — present

The Algerian dropshipping marketplace.

I founded and architected Dropdz end-to-end — the platform that connects Algerian suppliers with online sellers and handles products, orders, delivery and payments in one place. I designed the whole stack: the marketplace, the seller dashboard, a Shopify app and the automation layer, integrating the main local delivery and payment providers (Yalidine, Noest, Chargily). I also launched shopiZ — turnkey storefronts wired to the Dropdz catalog — and an AI assistant that automates advertising and social-media management.

A few other things I've made.

A few projects that show how I work — from architecture and code to deployment and operations.

  • Agromerar ERP

    2026 — present

    A full distribution ERP — web & mobile.

    As software architect, I design a complete distribution ERP: sales, inventory, point-of-sale, delivery and customers. A React web app plus a field mobile app for sellers and drivers — GPS tracking, barcode scanning, notifications and offline mode — with dashboards, access control and server deployment.

  • shopiZ

    2025 — present

    Turnkey storefronts, wired to the Dropdz catalog.

    A spin-off of Dropdz: ready-to-sell online stores, each with its own site and admin, automatically connected to the shared Dropdz product catalog — so a seller can launch a full storefront in minutes.

  • Automation & Bots

    2024 — present

    Custom bots, scraping, and trading automation.

    Bots and automation built end to end: browser automation, web scraping, scheduling and API integrations — plus algorithmic trading bots wired to broker platforms (MetaApi / cTrader). Reliable, headless, and running 24/7 on a VPS.

    2021 — 2023

    C/C++ firmware for medical devices & automation.

    Where it started: real-time C/C++ software for medical devices at Colberg Medical Technology, plus automation engineering — installing and testing electronic systems (fire-safety, access control). The reliability mindset I bring to every product since.
