## About

```text
At Loola AI, I build web and mobile product features with React, React Native, and Node.js REST APIs, including LLM-based assistants. I take features from requirements and technical specifications through integration, testing, release, and documentation.

I architected and built Hawlkar, my product for Somali retailers, including its Node.js API, React admin panel, and Kotlin Android app. It supports cash and credit ledgers, receivables, shop reports, and AI product recognition, with deployments to Google Cloud Run.

I also built responsive interfaces for E-xisaabi, a bilingual financial-management platform with subscriptions and paying customers. For Biyo Dhawr, I contributed a water-source monitoring and drought early-warning project that won first place in a university competition.
