About

I'm Badii, a full-stack developer running Badii Studio on my own. I build online stores for clients in Tunisia and the Gulf, where Arabic (RTL), French and cash on delivery are must-haves. I turned that work into The Merchant Engine: a self-hosted, MIT-licensed ecommerce stack (NestJS API, Angular admin, server-rendered storefront) that installs with one command. Happy to talk ecommerce, self-hosting and building for MENA markets.

The Merchant Engine - Open-Source, Self-Hosted Shopify Alternative

A self-hosted ecommerce platform for developers who build stores for clients: a NestJS REST API on PostgreSQL and Redis, an Angular admin dashboard and a server-rendered Analog.js storefront in French, English and Arabic, installed on your own Linux server with one setup command.

👀 Do you actually read the code your AI writes?

Be honest...

When the agent says "done", do you read every line?

💸 Do you track how much you spend on AI?

I opened our invoices this morning... and closed them right away hehe

Claude Max for the whole team, the API on top for our agents, a few other tools here and there...
