Jordach MakayaOperations leader · Backend & systems engineeringCasablanca · FR / EN

I ran operations.I build systems.

I combine operational leadership and hands-on software engineering to solve complex problems, build reusable capabilities, and turn ideas into working systems.

Three sides of my work

From people to products to possibilities.

My background in operations, entrepreneurship and software engineering shapes how I build: understand the operating reality, identify the missing capability, then design a system around it.

01

Leadership

I lead and develop people, turn complex situations into progress, and build high-performing teams.

02

Software Engineering

I design and build reliable systems, from business products to AI-powered infrastructure.

Hard Machine Labs

I build and open source the missing capabilities: practical tools born from real problems.

From the field to the code

Systems should make real work easier to trust.

Insurance claims taught me that an unverified assumption can carry a financial consequence. Leading people taught me that a process needs ownership, feedback and clear handoffs. Those lessons now shape the way I design software.

  1. 01

    Understand the operating reality before choosing the architecture.

  2. 02

    Build missing capabilities when repeated work reveals a systemic gap.

  3. 03

    Make decisions and results inspectable — not merely declared.

Hard Machine Labs

Born from real friction.

The idea began in school. Today it is a home for independent developer tools and experiments that solve problems encountered while building other systems.

env-sync

Stop copying .env values into CI settings by hand.

zod-config

One configuration contract, inside and outside NestJS.

index-ai-validator

Turn an AI-readable web proposal into an inspectable implementation.

Shipset

Deterministic delivery for TypeScript projects: git diff in, impacted services out, then build, deploy and verify only what changed.

How I think

Don't trust the agent. Design the system around it.

Before the code

I built companies before I built software.

Complex system. Ambiguous requirements. Someone still has to make it work.

Engineering opportunities, technical collaboration, or a challenging problem worth exploring.
