Zakaria Laabid is a tech entrepreneur and CTO with eight years of professional experience and more than a decade coding since he started at age 10. As co-founder and CEO of Virstate and CTO of multiple startups, he builds metaverse marketplaces and AI-powered creator tools while leading engineering teams from prototype to production. His background spans full-stack development, system administration, and game server architecture—skills honed by launching high-traffic Minecraft servers that reached hundreds of thousands of users. He combines product-minded engineering with hands-on ops (NGINX, Debian tuning, Docker) and has helped established brands like The Kooples and Partech with bespoke tooling. A student at EPITECH, Zakaria learns new technologies rapidly and blends marketing-savvy growth tactics with deep technical execution. Notably, his early experience running massively multiplayer servers gave him rare operational resilience and scalability instincts uncommon in founders his age.
