Remote-only Product Manager or Product Analyst internship at a startup. I built and shipped a live web app solo, and independently benchmarked how large language models handle an Arabic dialect. Comfortable across both hands-on execution and structured analysis.

United Arab EmiratesWhat I'm looking for
CS student at OPIT (BSc Computer Science, expected 2028) transitioning into product management, with a shipped web product and cross-functional remote internship experience across design, engineering, and client delivery.
I built and shipped CYPHER, a browser-based cipher-breaking game, from concept to live production as its sole contributor. I calibrated a three-tier difficulty system, ran an A/B test on two competing UI designs and shipped the version players preferred, and managed a backlog of fixes and improvements by user impact and implementation effort.
I also ran an independent research project benchmarking how large language models handle Khaleeji (Gulf Arabic) dialect sentiment. I built a 333-item, native-speaker-validated corpus and tested 7 models across 2,331 classifications. The results showed that model cost and overall accuracy did not reliably predict performance on Khaleeji text, leading to a product specification for a lightweight model-evaluation harness.
Outside of these projects, I track AI model releases across major and open-weight labs, weighing local models against commercial APIs on cost, latency, and control before adoption.
