What I'm looking for

I'm open to hybrid and remote roles where I can lead AI-integrated product strategy, translate technical requirements into business outcomes, and ship scalable digital platforms.

At Galco FZE, I lead product and technology strategy across five live platforms, including Alex, a Claude API-powered AI assistant, tutorii.education, JobPeak, and two marketplaces. I own roadmaps, product requirements, code reviews, vendor coordination, and cross-functional releases.

I've shipped WhatsApp Business API integrations through Twilio and Meta Cloud API, designed AI prompt pipelines and conversation flows, and built automation and infrastructure across Supabase, Railway, Vercel, Cloudflare R2, n8n, and AWS SES. I also drove go-to-market strategy and brand positioning for a car import marketplace serving MENA and sub-Saharan Africa.

My background spans frontend engineering, infrastructure support, and Android development, giving me practical experience across the full product lifecycle—from requirements and design reviews to QA and stakeholder handover.
