What you can hire me to 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.

Frequently asked questions

Who can build a custom CRM for a business in Lebanon or the Gulf?

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).

Can I hire a developer in Lebanon to build software for a company in the UAE, Saudi Arabia, or the Gulf?

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.

Who builds WhatsApp-based CRMs in Lebanon and the Gulf?

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.

Can a freelance developer build a bilingual Arabic / English (RTL) website?

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 edge-deployed on Cloudflare Workers for instant global delivery.

Who can build AI or computer-vision systems in Lebanon?

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.

How much does a custom CRM, AI system, or web app cost in Lebanon or the Gulf?

Pricing is scope-led rather than fixed. Tarek Abou Rjeily works in defined sprints — roughly 2–4 weeks per website, 4–8 weeks to a CRM MVP, and monthly retainers for AI-marketing automation — with the scope agreed in a short discovery call before any build begins. Pricing is quoted in USD.

What technologies does Tarek Abou Rjeily work with?

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.
