2025 — Present
Marketplaces & fintech platforms
A services marketplace with a geo-aware dispatch engine on PostgreSQL/PostGIS and Stripe Connect payouts, and a four-service fintech suite covering identity, wallets and trading. React and React Native front ends, Python and Node services, AWS underneath.
2024 — 2025
Personal finance & credit building
Led the MVP for a credit-monitoring and debt-payoff app — multi-account tracking, budgets and automated savings goals. Built the backend with encrypted data at rest and in transit, and device- and location-based authorisation.
2023 — 2024
AI companionship for older adults
The React Native app and the backend for an AI companion that holds real, phone-style conversations, with check-ins that keep family in the loop. Unified Google, Facebook and Apple sign-in into a single identity, and cut backend response times by around 30%.
2022 — 2023
Consumer social apps at scale
Owned the backends for two apps that reached 100K+ and 50K+ downloads — real-time chat and voice translation, an AI assistant, in-chat image generation, paid mentor sessions, live streaming and a token wallet.
2020 — 2022
Regulated open banking
Built the entire test suite, the build/policy-management service and the audit-log service for a white-label banking platform regulated by SAMA, the CBB and the FCA — embedded by banks across Saudi Arabia, Bahrain and the UK, with partners including Deloitte, Mastercard and Oracle.
2019 — 2020
Data engineering at volume
ETL pipelines and a large-scale collection platform producing 100,000+ structured product records from 40+ online marketplaces. Alongside an M.S. in Data Science from NED University of Engineering & Technology.
