Message

At Foodics, I lead Product, Design and Operations for a finance venture serving small and medium-sized businesses. I launched it from scratch in six months, disbursing 17M SAR in term and supplier financing, and enabled fully digital eligibility checks and finance offers through an AI-powered credit engine.

At Delivery Hero and Talabat LLC, I led pharmacy and vendor operations products, including a global user management system that reduced manual work by about 80%. I’ve also co-founded and built products at early-stage startups, and I’m currently testing an AI operating system for human-led, AI-executed product development.
