Riyadh, Saudi Arabia

I take companies from no AI to a working stack.

Advanced Diploma in Software Engineering, then seven years across full-stack development, cloud infrastructure, and applied AI. At Mada I built the messaging platform, the ERP integration, the AI production pipelines, and the website — alone, for a company serving SAP, Aramco Digital, and Saudi Electricity Company. Most of it because nobody had asked for it yet.

How I work

Find the problem first. Then build the system.

Nobody assigned the Chatwoot deployment, the Odoo integration, or the WhatsApp automation at Mada. They were problems that were costing the business time, so they got solved. That's the pattern across most of what I've built.

01

Applied LLM systems

Multi-agent orchestration, RAG and vector pipelines, structured outputs and function calling. Anthropic, OpenAI, and Gemini APIs in production, plus local deployment through Ollama and LM Studio where data can't leave the building.

02

Automation & integration

Connecting the systems that don't talk to each other. Odoo ERP, WhatsApp Business API, Twilio, Chatwoot, Stripe, and custom REST services — wired through n8n, Make, and purpose-built Node services.

03

Architecture & infrastructure

Next.js and Node platforms on AWS, Azure, and self-managed VPS. Queues, caching, CI/CD, Linux administration, and security hardening — because someone has to own the thing after it ships.

Experience

Seven years shipping systems people depend on.

Mada Events & Exhibition Company

Sole design and technical resource for an events company serving SAP, Aramco Digital, Saudi Electricity Company, Genesys, and government entities. Built the messaging platform, ERP integration, AI production pipelines, and website that the business now runs on. The title is design; the scope is infrastructure.

  • Self-host and maintain Chatwoot on the company VPS, with WhatsApp Business (Meta) and Twilio integrated — all client messaging runs through it.
  • Odoo ERP: connected website forms into the leads pipeline, configured the deployment, and modified internal code to produce custom invoice output.
  • Built and maintain the company website end to end.
  • Designed AI-assisted production pipelines for video and catalogue generation, and brought generative AI tooling into marketing and content workflows.
  • Own IT outright: infrastructure, connectivity, and issue resolution across the business.
  • Deliver brand identities, catalogues, digital screen content, and campaign assets for enterprise and government-sector clients.

Selected projects

Each one started as a problem I ran into.

Not startups — things built to learn a stack properly by shipping it. Reading documentation isn't the same as running something in production.

LaunchAudit

Active development

A SaaS that audits websites for security, SEO, and performance. Agencies ship sites with no baseline and no affordable way to check one. Five-tier pricing, background job processing, and Claude-generated audit reasoning.

Agency OS

Ready to deploy

An end-to-end operations platform for agencies: team management, client management, and payroll in a single system rather than four disconnected tools and a spreadsheet.
