At The Digital Hotelier, I designed the reusable foundation behind the hotel operations dashboard, helping new modules go from about a week to 1–2 days. I also built dashboard features including a drag-and-drop housekeeping planner, live orders, and analytics reports.

For ServRoom, TDH’s hotel-services marketplace, I designed a provider engine now running 15 service types. I also reduced image sources from 38.4 MB to 2.26 MB and set up a test suite with 38 test files.

At Tasqat, I built AI-generated operational plans using the OpenAI API and a fine-tuning pipeline, alongside approval workflows and reporting APIs for Ajman Government’s performance and project management platform.

My earlier work includes live bus tracking and operational portals for King Khalid International Airport, and full-stack products such as SawaExpress and ChronoPOS. I’ve also led a frontend team at Magenus and taught full-stack development at Hsoub Academy.
