# Zaki Gouizi > Engineer and Enka co-founder building applications, automation and data workflows. I connect product needs with interfaces, backend systems and the way people use them. ## Work I can help with I work across software, data and automation. My strength is connecting the parts of a problem: understanding the need, designing the workflow, building the application and making the information move between the right people and tools. - **Build a product across frontend and backend.** At [Enka](https://zaki.somehow.engineer/read/en/enka.md), I am co-founder and CTO, working across customer ordering, courier workflows and administration. My earlier [StudentBank internship](https://zaki.somehow.engineer/read/en/studentbank.md) covered user interviews, modeling, React interfaces and backend development. - **Turn repetitive computer work into a usable tool.** [Murmur](https://zaki.somehow.engineer/read/en/murmur.md), [Screen to Calendar](https://zaki.somehow.engineer/read/en/screen-to-calendar.md) and my [prospecting workspace](https://zaki.somehow.engineer/read/en/prospecting-workspace.md) grew from practical needs: dictation, moving information into a calendar, and keeping research and outreach drafts organized. - **Connect AI generation to a reviewable workflow.** [Flow Studio](https://zaki.somehow.engineer/read/en/flow-studio.md) brings prompts, image and video generation, versions and feedback into a working interface. My [Thinking Partner](https://zaki.somehow.engineer/read/en/thinking-partner.md) explores how questions, evidence and revisions can support longer research. - **Investigate a forecasting or data question.** At [Decathlon](https://zaki.somehow.engineer/read/en/decathlon.md), I worked on forecasting covariables, including weather, holidays and events. My [crypto research](https://zaki.somehow.engineer/read/en/crypto-research.md) shows the same willingness to investigate a question deeply, inspect the experiment and change the conclusion when the evidence changes. - **Contribute to a project that needs technical and creative thinking.** Alongside engineering, I co-preside over [Recto Verso](https://zaki.somehow.engineer/read/en/recto-verso.md), an association for art, photography and visuals. I also contribute camera work and ideas to [friends’ films](https://zaki.somehow.engineer/read/en/filmmaking.md), and I am learning to [make clothes](https://zaki.somehow.engineer/read/en/clothes.md). For freelance work, I collaborate with a small team across automation, cybersecurity, marketing and content creation. We shape the scope around the client’s needs and the strengths of the people involved. ## What connects these projects I like taking a problem beyond the first idea. Enka connects an application with restaurant and courier operations. StudentBank connected user journeys with interfaces and a data model. My automation projects turn repeated actions into tools I can return to and use. That is the kind of work I want to do more of: turn a need into a clear workflow, build the useful parts and keep improving them through use. I am developing my freelance activity and looking for opportunities in Paris and abroad. ## Hi, I’m Zaki. > An engineering background, software and data experience, and a freelance journey alongside a search for opportunities in Paris and abroad. Welcome to my portfolio Category: Welcome [Open in the interactive portfolio]() [Français]() ### A little about me I’m Zaki Gouizi, an engineer with a computer science background from JUNIA HEI in Lille, following preparatory studies at Lycée LaSalle. I’ve worked on forecasting at Decathlon and full-stack development at StudentBank. I’m also co-founder and CTO of Enka. I’m developing my freelance work with a small team of collaborators, offering automation, cybersecurity, marketing, content creation and other services based on each client’s needs. Alongside that, I’m looking for job opportunities in Paris and abroad. ### Related work - [My studies]() - [Decathlon]() - [StudentBank]() - [Enka]() ## How I approach my work I'm Zaki, an engineer and co-founder of Enka. When I run into a problem, my first question is often: “Would it be faster to make it myself?” That's why I became an engineer: to have the tools to turn my ideas into something I can use. Sometimes that means automating an annoying task. Sometimes it means spending months exploring a question until I understand it for myself. My interests also take me into building a business, helping friends make films, and learning to sew my own clothes. These are some of the things I've made and what I've learned along the way. ## Contact - [Email me]() - [Open LinkedIn]() - [Open GitHub]()
