Rihab Methnani

Full Stack Engineer

I design systems that stay clear as they grow: event-driven microservices, GraphQL APIs and Clean Architecture. Then I build every layer, from the database to the interface.

About

I build the whole path a request travels: from the interface people touch to the data they trust.

I’m a Full Stack Engineer with a Master’s-level engineering degree from Polytechnique Sousse and three years of hands-on product work. I design back-end systems that stay maintainable as they grow: services that talk through message queues, GraphQL APIs with deliberate schema design, and codebases organised by Clean Architecture so business rules never depend on a framework.

On top of them I build the React interfaces people actually use. I’ve shipped a microservices delivery platform with live tracking and route optimization, a secure payment flow, and a matching platform for a freelance client.

I also mentor interns and teach programming, which keeps me honest about one thing: if I can’t explain a design simply, it isn’t simple enough yet.

Experience

Three years of product work, with some periods in parallel: freelance alongside Dundill in 2024, teaching alongside the final-year project in 2025.

  1. Teaching

    Computer Science Instructor

    ESPITA Digital · Sousse

    In parallel: Dundill (Final-year project)

    Teaching programming fundamentals and modern web development.

    • Teaches the Programming Workshop: algorithmic thinking, problem decomposition and Python fundamentals.
    • Teaches Development Frameworks: component-based web interfaces with React.js.
    • Builds project-based assignments and code reviews that mirror how real product teams work.
    • Python
    • Algorithms
    • React.js
  2. Final-year project

    Software Engineer · Final-year engineering project

    Dundill · Sousse

    In parallel: ESPITA Digital (Teaching)

    Designed and built a microservices platform for last-mile delivery.

    • Split the platform into independent NestJS services for users, orders and notifications, each with its own data and GraphQL API.
    • Connected the services through RabbitMQ so events propagate asynchronously, with a dead-letter queue and automatic reconnection for resilience.
    • Built the route optimization engine that orders each driver’s stops on real road distances (nearest-neighbour construction, then 2-opt improvement).
    • Delivered three clients on top: a role-based React back office with live driver tracking, a partner dashboard with real-time notifications, and a React Native driver app.

  3. Full-time

    Full Stack Developer

    Dundill · Sousse

    In parallel: Freelance (Freelance)

    Built product features end to end in a Clean Architecture codebase.

    • Built back-end APIs with NestJS and GraphQL and the matching React front end, with entities, use cases, adapters and frameworks kept in separate layers.
    • Implemented a secure payment integration with Paymaster, from the client flow to the API and the provider.
    • Improved NoSQL query performance through better query shapes, indexing and document structure.
    • Raised release confidence with unit tests (Jest) and end-to-end tests (Cypress).
    • Mentored junior interns through onboarding, code reviews and pairing.

  4. Freelance

    Full Stack Developer · Freelance

    Freelance · Sousse

    In parallel: Dundill (Full-time)

    Delivered a talent–company matching platform for a client, from data model to UI.

    • Designed the GraphQL API and the MongoDB schema for users, companies and projects.
    • Modelled the relationships that power matching so each screen gets its data in a single query.
    • Built the React front end on top of the API.
