From Morocco to Cardiff - built on data, driven by results.

I grew up in Morocco and moved to the UK to study Computer Science at Cardiff Metropolitan University. I've spent the last three years working as a Data Scientist - first freelancing on Upwork, then joining Adway where I lead data analytics supporting client retention and growth.

On Upwork, I've worked with 15 clients across 7 industries, billed 2,450+ hours, and maintained a 100% Job Success Score - earning the Top Rated Plus badge, the platform's highest tier. I charge $70/hr and I'm selective about the work I take on.

I now share everything I learned through content on LinkedIn (24K followers) and YouTube (7.5K subscribers), and through my course for tech professionals who want to build a serious freelance income.

Real feedback from real people.

I had the privilege of co-founding Alterfy with Anas, and even though the venture has since wrapped up, working with him was one of the highlights of the journey. Anas has a rare mix of deep technical expertise and genuine people skills. He can dive into complex data and AI challenges while also making everyone around him feel heard and supported. He brought creativity, focus, and a collaborative spirit, and he's overall a great person. I'd recommend him without hesitation to anyone looking for a brilliant data mind who's also a great teammate.

I've always been intrigued by freelancing as a way to work on interesting projects outside of my full-time job while getting paid. Anas' LinkedIn content on freelancing has always been practical, so when he dropped a complete course, I was excited. This course covers the entire freelance lifecycle and fills in all the gaps: real examples, ready-to-use scripts, and guidance on navigating uncomfortable conversations like pricing, asking for reviews, and following up with clients. I'm now more committed to trying Upwork knowing I have the structure and expert guidance to handle every step.

Anas experience on Upwork really makes this course worth every cent. Navigating the freelance market is not easy nowadays. I highly recommend this to anyone serious about making money as a freelancer. Just the section about how to research new projects makes this course worthwhile.

As a freelance AI & Data Science consultant, I had the skills but struggled to convert proposals into real contracts. The C.L.I.E.N.T framework helped me reposition my profile, and the Loom video strategy set me apart instantly. I now have clients. If you're a tech professional serious about freelancing, this course is worth 10x the price.
