Made independently. Built with curiosity.

Building thoughtful software.

Hi, I'm Sofien Hichri. Alka is my personal workspace where I design and build independent tools, applications, and software experiments with care.

About The Lab // Independent Engineering

Behind Alka.

A personal corner of the internet, created and maintained by Sofien Hichri.

I started Alka as an independent home for the software I build. No investors, no pitch decks, and no growth hacks. Just honest engineering, clean design, and software built to last. I enjoy building fast, reliable tools that do one thing well without tracking you or getting in your way.

01. PRINCIPLEComplete Independence

Everything here is self-funded and completely autonomous. That means making decisions based on what is genuinely good for users, not what satisfies an external board. Code is written to be clean, reliable, and durable over years.

02. METHODCuriosity & Hands-On Craft

I love exploring new ideas across modern web technologies, backend systems, and lightweight tools that run reliably with minimal overhead and zero bloat.

03. ETHOSSimplicity & Respect for Users

Software should be fast, respect your privacy, and get out of your way. No invasive tracking cookies, no bloated scripts, and no dark patterns. Just thoughtful digital tools made with care.
