Conversation App for Engaged Couples
An iOS app that gives Saudi couples 500 questions to talk about during their engagement.
The Problem
Engaged couples in Saudi have a short window to get to know each other before marriage. The conversations can be awkward, and nobody had built anything for this specific problem.
What I Built
I built a native iOS app. 500 Arabic questions across 3 relationship stages. TikTok-style swiping. You share it with your partner via invite code. Clean Arabic RTL interface. 69.99 SAR lifetime unlock.
Results
- 1,000+ users on the App Store
- 40% come back every month
- 500 questions I wrote and curated
- Designed, built, and shipped solo

Find Fair Meetup Spots
An app that finds where to meet based on travel time, not distance.
The Problem
When you want to meet a friend, "halfway" by distance isn't fair if one person is stuck in traffic and the other isn't. Nobody had solved this properly.
What I Built
Cross-platform app that calculates overlapping travel times and finds good venues in that zone. Your friend doesn't need to download the app—they just click a link. Smart venue ranking so you get quality places that are also fair.
Results
- Zero infrastructure costs (serverless)
- Friends don't need to download the app
- React Native, Cloudflare Workers, Mapbox
- Shipping soon

Compliance AI That Reads Arabic Contracts
The AI engine that catches regulatory violations in Saudi retail businesses.
The Problem
Saudi retail SMEs needed to know if they were breaking regulations before inspectors showed up. Nobody had automated this for the Saudi market.
What I Built
I architected the core platform. It takes data from on-site audits, checks it against Saudi legal frameworks, and spits out reports telling you what's wrong and how to fix it. Arabic NLP, document processing, the whole stack.
Results
- 1,000+ audits processed
- 1,000,000+ SAR in violations caught
- Automated compliance checking
- Founding engineer from day one

Production System for Custom Jewelry
A system that routes custom jewelry orders to the right worker automatically.
The Problem
They were doing 100+ custom orders a day but assigning them to workers by hand. Chaos. Orders got lost. Workers didn't know what to do next.
What I Built
I built their production assignment system. Orders come in, the system assigns them to the right worker based on skills and workload. Dashboard shows everyone what they need to do. Also built the Shopify customization UI.
Results
- 8 workers, 100+ orders/day
- No more manual assignment
- Orders don't get lost anymore
- Full-stack: Shopify + internal tools

Procurement Dashboard
Internal dashboard for a B2B coffee procurement marketplace.
The Problem
They couldn't see their procurement data clearly. Orders were tracked poorly. They wanted their data on their own servers.
What I Built
Built an analytics dashboard showing procurement data and order status. Deployed a self-hosted ERP so they own their data. Everything runs on their infrastructure.
Results
- Clear visibility into procurement
- Self-hosted = they own their data
- Stable system that doesn't go down
- Built and deployed in weeks

Fleet Analytics for E-Scooters
Monitoring and infrastructure for 300 IoT e-scooters in Saudi Arabia.
The Problem
300 scooters sending data constantly. They needed to know which ones were broken, which needed charging, and the whole thing needed to stay connected.
What I Built
Built a Grafana dashboard for fleet health. Architected the TCP router that handles thousands of IoT connections simultaneously. Set up CI/CD so deployments don't require manual work.
Results
- 300 scooters monitored in real-time
- Thousands of concurrent connections
- Data-driven maintenance decisions
- Automated deployments
