AI product builder behind GoFetch’s live platform, Scout assistant, and MCP connector.

I built GoFetch, a live monitoring and alerting platform with real users, and Scout, its AI assistant. I also built and deployed an MCP connector that lets Claude or ChatGPT work with the product, with user approval required before actions are applied.

I developed Adwiyati, a medication reminder app published on Google Play, where an AI model identifies medicine from a camera image. Before building software, I managed luxury retail and business development across the GCC, including securing USD 1.5M in project sales through architect and interior designer partnerships in Saudi Arabia.
