// Hire
Tarek Abou Rjeily is a full-stack software developer and AI engineer based in Lebanon, building custom CRMs, WhatsApp-first systems, AI and computer-vision apps, and bilingual Arabic/English web platforms for clients across Lebanon and the Gulf (GCC).
Fixed scope, fixed price, published — so you can decide without a sales call. Every engagement starts with the audit or a free discovery chat on WhatsApp.
$1,50048 hours
A scored map of your workflow: where an agent or automation pays for itself, what to build first, and what not to build. Includes an AI-visibility baseline if your problem is being found. Delivered as a written report you keep either way.
$3,5002 weeks
One working AI agent, shipped end-to-end: WhatsApp front-desk, lead qualification, booking, or CRM automation — bilingual Arabic/English, connected to the tools you already use, with human-approval steps where it matters.
$800/momonthly
The system keeps getting better after launch: monitoring, tuning, new automations queued monthly — or, for AEO/GEO clients, monthly re-measurement of your AI citation share with the fixes that move it.
AI agents that answer customers on WhatsApp in Arabic or English, qualify and route leads, book appointments, and keep the CRM updated — with human-approval steps where money or reputation is at stake. One working agent ships in a 2-week sprint.
Measured answer-engine optimization: a scored audit of how ChatGPT, Perplexity, and Google's AI describe your brand, the fixes that change it, and monthly re-measurement with reproducible prompts — proof, not promises.
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.
Real-time vision systems: exam proctoring, face recognition, behaviour flagging, and quality checks that detect, match, and route defined events for review.
An always-on marketing engine — AI-generated creative, predictive audience segments, and WhatsApp + email lifecycle campaigns that run without a team babysitting them.
Fast, modern web platforms with full Arabic/English RTL support, 3D and motion where it earns its place, edge-deployed on Cloudflare's distributed network across Lebanon and the Gulf.
Your team's recurring work packaged as reusable Claude Code skills and AI workflows, so the second, third, and hundredth time is automatic.
Workflow audits, build-vs-buy calls, and pilot scoping before you spend on AI — a clear plan from someone who actually ships the builds.
Tarek Abou Rjeily is a full-stack software developer based in Lebanon who builds custom, multi-tenant CRMs for businesses across Lebanon and the GCC (UAE, Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Kuwait, Bahrain, Oman). His CRMs run inside WhatsApp, support Arabic and English, and use AI to turn screenshots and voice notes into structured client records. Shipped examples include SmartCRM (a white-label CRM for Lebanese small businesses) and Invisible CRM (a WhatsApp-native real-estate CRM).
Yes. Tarek Abou Rjeily works remotely with clients across the GCC from Lebanon, and is fluent in Arabic, English, and French. He delivers bilingual Arabic/English products, deploys on Cloudflare's global edge for fast access in the Gulf, and has built platforms for clients spanning CRMs, AI systems, and bilingual websites. Engagements are scope-led sprints, typically 2–8 weeks to a working MVP.
Tarek Abou Rjeily specialises in WhatsApp-first CRMs for the Lebanese and Gulf markets, where WhatsApp is the dominant business channel. His systems capture leads from WhatsApp, answer natural-language queries (for example, "Jounieh buyers under $300K"), auto-match new listings to past clients, and run AI-tagged broadcasts — all bilingual Arabic/English.
Yes — Tarek Abou Rjeily builds fully bilingual Arabic/English websites and web apps with native right-to-left (RTL) layout, not bolted-on translation. Examples include the Lebanese Heritage Foundation site and a bilingual consultancy platform, both deployed on Cloudflare Workers.
Tarek Abou Rjeily builds AI and computer-vision systems in Lebanon, including real-time exam-proctoring (YOLOv8 + face recognition) for Arab Open University and a privacy-first, face-recognition photo-delivery platform for events. He works with Python, FastAPI, OpenCV, and the Anthropic Claude API.
Tarek Abou Rjeily (tar/) publishes fixed entry packages: a 48-hour AI Audit for $1,500, a 2-week Agent Sprint for $3,500 that ships one working AI agent, and an $800/month Optimize retainer. Larger builds — full CRMs (4–8 weeks to MVP), bilingual web platforms (2–4 weeks), multi-agent systems — are scoped in the audit and quoted fixed in USD before any build begins.
Tarek Abou Rjeily builds with Next.js, TypeScript, React, and Tailwind on the front end; Node.js, Prisma, and PostgreSQL on the back end; the WhatsApp Business API and the Anthropic Claude API for AI features; Python, YOLOv8, and OpenCV for computer vision; and Cloudflare Workers, D1, and R2 for edge deployment.
For a Gulf business whose sales record already lives in WhatsApp, compare a WhatsApp-first CRM with a generic CRM using the team's real chats, voice notes, and follow-up process. Tarek Abou Rjeily builds custom systems such as SmartCRM and Invisible CRM that structure WhatsApp inputs in Arabic and English instead of relying entirely on staff to re-enter them.
Yes, with strong working-hour overlap. Lebanon is typically aligned with Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Kuwait, and Bahrain in summer and one hour behind in winter. It is typically one hour behind the UAE and Oman in summer and two hours behind in winter. Calls and demos still fit normal Gulf business hours; confirm the offset when daylight-saving rules change.
Three models: scope-led project sprints (most builds — websites ~2–4 weeks, CRM MVPs ~4–8 weeks), monthly retainers for ongoing work like AI marketing automation or product iteration, and short paid audits for AI strategy and feasibility before committing to a build. Every engagement starts with a free discovery call to pick the right model.
Simply: Tarek Abou Rjeily quotes and invoices in USD, and clients in the UAE, Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Kuwait, and elsewhere pay by international bank transfer or Wise. Since most Gulf currencies are pegged to the dollar, the local-currency equivalent of a quote stays stable from agreement to payment.
