Trilingual Developer Advocate and implementation specialist building AI-powered pipelines and developer content for Arabic–Japanese markets.
JapanWhat I'm looking for
I’m a trilingual engineer (Arabic · Japanese · English) who bridges technical depth and market reach. I built a 2M+ view content pipeline to acquire translation clients, combining technical implementation with data-driven distribution.
As a self-employed Founder & Developer Advocate (2022–Present), I automated Arabic ↔ Japanese workflows with AI and scaled deliveries from 2–4 orders/month toward 30+/month (3× faster than the manual process). I also built and operated a Shopify dropshipping store using Python-automated inventory and analytics, and I’ve delivered legal, technical, and commercial translation projects for Japanese and Arab clients.
I bring hands-on developer tooling experience from TypeScript and infrastructure work, plus leadership and cross-cultural communication from leading a 40+ player rugby team at Osaka Sangyo University. With my Arabic-speaking developer community focus, I’m ideally positioned to grow communities or lead technical implementations across MENA and Japan markets.
