Years building mobile, tablet & web products
Apps published on Google Play & the App Store
Collective downloads across published apps
Countries in the team I led — Dubai, China & Sri Lanka

Where my work has shipped — employers & products
Logos and names belong to their owners and identify companies I worked for and products I helped build — not endorsements.
01 Published mobile applications
A 0→1 omnichannel grocery platform built with the founders, fully in Arabic — server-driven personalised homepage and Algolia search.
Store listing retired — no published screenshots. Preview is a concept sketch.
Real-time GPS tracking, route optimisation and secure payments — plus the Driver, Collector and Storekeeper apps I built with a remote team.
Screens from the Pass store listing; the map screen is a concept sketch. The Play listing may no longer be live.
Other published work from the same teams — operations, education and FinTech.
02 SaaS, AI & mobile innovation
Screenshot of the landlord dashboard with sample data (18 Oct 2026); the greeting line is cropped. The live app is behind sign-in.
The whole rent cycle in one dashboard — and an AI client can ask it questions over MCP.
Compatible, authorised AI clients call a small set of MCP tools — every answer scoped to the signed-in owner.
Works with AI clients that support MCP and are authorised by the owner — not with every AI model automatically.
Real screenshots from the live app.
One selfie in, a confident look out — skin analysis, makeup try-on on your own face, and a score for which look suits you.
App home screen. The widget beside it is a representation of the 4×2 home-screen widget.
A calm week-by-week companion — progress, what’s changing, care tips and reminders, with today’s week on the home screen.
Screenshot from the app; the overlays explain the flow. In this version the backend returns a simulated model response.

A monthly snapshot: what’s in progress, what I’m studying by building, and the next milestone.
04 Impact
The numbers I’m proudest of — each one tied to the product and team where it happened, with a line on how it was measured.
Faster homepage load time
Jeeb, Doha — server-driven, personalised homepage with Algolia instant search.
Measured Homepage load time before and after the server-driven homepage and Algolia search shipped. Self-reported from project work at Jeeb (2022–24); the measurement set-up isn’t published here.
Delivery speed
Jeeb, Doha — Driver, Collector and Storekeeper apps built with a remote team.
Measured Delivery speed after the Driver, Collector and Storekeeper apps launched, against the previous operation. Self-reported from project work at Jeeb (2022–24).
Downloads of state-government ed-tech apps
CSM Technologies — school management, biometric attendance and e-learning during COVID-19.
Measured The install bracket shown on the Google Play listing for eVV 2.0 (500K+, checked Oct 2026). DigiSchool’s listing is no longer public, so it isn’t counted.
User engagement
Jeeb, Doha — from the personalised homepage and instant search.
Measured User engagement after the personalised homepage and instant search shipped, against the previous homepage. Self-reported from project work at Jeeb (2022–24).
Less manual data entry
JUSCO (Tata Steel) — native app replacing paper vendor registers, plus 50% better data accuracy.
Measured Time spent on vendor-register data entry, paper process versus the app; the accuracy figure comes from the same comparison. Self-reported from project work at JUSCO (2019–20).
Delivery efficiency & checkout performance
Jeeb, Doha — real-time GPS tracking, route optimisation and secure payments.
Measured Delivery efficiency and checkout performance after GPS tracking, route optimisation and payments shipped. Self-reported from project work at Jeeb (2022–24).
How to read these: the Google Play figure comes from the public store listing. The percentages are my own project reporting from each role — comparisons made at the time, not independent audits — and the underlying measurements aren’t published here. Ask me and I’ll walk you through any of them.
05 Case studies
Three engagements, opened like case files: the challenge, what I built, and what changed.
4.1 E-commerce & logistics · Doha, Qatar · 2022 – 2024
Software Engineer · Jeeb E-Commerce & Logistics (start-up)
A fast-growing Qatari start-up needed an omnichannel grocery and logistics platform — customer app, operations apps and the delivery chain behind them — fully in Arabic, built directly with the founders.
A homepage that loads 95% faster and lifted engagement by 50%, with deliveries 60% faster and checkout 20% more efficient.
4.2 FinTech · Dubai, UAE · 2024 – 2026
Senior Software Engineer · Kobet Technology DMCC
Several cross-platform FinTech products — crypto, wallets and gift cards — needing reliable releases on both stores, built by one team spread across three countries.
Production releases on both stores for VivaKard, TimuCard and Tbay, plus BitOwi on Google Play — apps whose listings now show over a million downloads.

4.3 Government ed-tech · Jharkhand, India · 2020 – 2022
Software Engineer · CSM Technologies (CMMI Level 5)
With schools closed by COVID-19, a state government needed school management, biometric attendance, student and teacher tracking, mid-day meals (MDM) and e-learning — fast.
The state’s ed-tech apps, including eVV and DigiSchool, passed 500K downloads with successful state-wide adoption.

07 Skills
Grouped by the job they do. Highlighted items are what I reach for every day; dashed ones I’m actively exploring rather than running in production.
Cross-platform and native apps for phone, tablet and web — from first commit to store release.
The languages behind the apps, the APIs and the tooling.
Web front-ends and admin surfaces that sit next to the mobile apps.
Structures that keep large apps maintainable as teams and features grow.
Designing, building and integrating the services the apps depend on.
Getting builds tested, reviewed and into the stores without drama.
Bringing LLMs — the models — into real apps, with the plumbing around them: callback hooks for monitoring, structured output and failure handling, the pattern frameworks like LangChain formalise.
The non-code part of shipping: people, plans and stakeholders.
Where the work happens.
08 About
EST. 2019
From shipping apps at scale to building AI-powered systems.
I’m a Senior Software Engineer with 7+ years of experience building and shipping mobile products across e-commerce, fintech, logistics, and government projects.
My work spans Flutter, native Android with Kotlin and Java, iOS with Swift, backend APIs, and full-stack development. I’ve worked on production applications, server-driven experiences, payment integrations, real-time logistics, and scalable product workflows.
More recently, I’ve been exploring AI-powered applications, MCP integrations, and AI assistants that connect language models to real application data and business workflows.
I enjoy owning the complete engineering journey — from designing a reliable architecture and building the interface to integrating backend systems and shipping a product people can use.
Real-world mobile applications, integrations, performance, and maintainability.
