The short story
I build software that solves one specific business problem and ships. In Lebanon and the Gulf, that usually starts in WhatsApp — it is where deals are made, so I build CRMs that live there instead of asking teams to re-type conversations into a separate tool. Screenshots and voice notes become structured records; AI handles the tagging, search, and broadcasts — in Arabic and English, side by side.
The same applied-AI approach runs through the rest of the work: real-time computer vision (exam proctoring for Arab Open University, privacy-first face-recognition photo delivery for events), AI marketing automation for clinics, and bilingual right-to-left web platforms edge-deployed on Cloudflare so they are fast from Beirut to Riyadh. I work hands-on with the Anthropic Claude API, Python, and modern web stacks, and deliver deployed products rather than proofs-of-concept.
What I build
- CRM & WhatsApp Systems. Custom, multi-tenant CRMs that run inside WhatsApp — where Lebanese and Gulf businesses already talk to their clients. Screenshots and voice notes become structured records; AI handles tagging, search, and broadcasts. Bilingual Arabic/English.
- Computer Vision Systems. Real-time vision systems: exam proctoring, face recognition, behaviour flagging, and quality checks that detect, match, and alert the instant something happens.
- AI Marketing Automation. An always-on marketing engine — AI-generated creative, predictive audience segments, and WhatsApp + email lifecycle campaigns that run without a team babysitting them.
- Web Platforms & Bilingual / RTL Sites. Fast, modern web platforms with full Arabic/English RTL support, 3D and motion where it earns its place, edge-deployed on Cloudflare for instant global delivery across Lebanon and the Gulf.
- Custom Claude Code Skills & AI Workflows. Your team's recurring work packaged as reusable Claude Code skills and AI workflows, so the second, third, and hundredth time is automatic.
- AI Strategy & Advisory. Workflow audits, build-vs-buy calls, and pilot scoping before you spend on AI — a clear plan from someone who actually ships the builds.
