About

Since October 2024 I've worked at Almohit Trading, where I build and run the systems the business uses every day.

I started in 2023, in my final year at university. I led the team that built the university's timetable generator, then built a management system for two gyms and an online shop for a retailer in Saudi Arabia on my own. That year taught me to learn how a place actually runs before I write any code.

I like systems that stay small and fast. The logistics platform I work on has processed more than 1.2 million orders on a database with 2 GB of memory.

I'm also studying for an MSc in Business Intelligence and Analytics at UTM, because I want to get better at what comes after a system is built: reading the data it produces.

The work

A logistics platform that has handled 1.2 million orders

Orders arrive from TikTok Shop and Shopee, then get synced, printed and packed. Between 50 and 60 people use it every day.

  • Almohit Trading, 2024 to now
  • Runs on a 2 GB database with one vCPU
  • ASP.NET Core, React and PostgreSQL

Hotel check-in that reads the passport for you

Staff scan a passport or ID, the guest confirms on their own screen, and the hotel can message them on WhatsApp or LINE.

  • In use at five hotels of a seven-hotel group
  • .NET, React and a Python passport reader

A university timetable with no clashes

It generates the university's class schedule so that nothing conflicts. I led the team that built it, and we handed it over to the university.

  • Team lead
  • Delivered to the university

Gym management system

One system built to run across multiple gyms, sold to two. It manages their members. Built alone.

Online shop for a Saudi retailer

Storefront and backend for a client with several shops, with payments through a Saudi payment gateway. Built alone.

Brand storefronts

Several brand websites served from one shared codebase and CMS, with product links to Shopee, TikTok Shop and Lazada.

TikTok Shop tools

A pricing calculator for sellers and a script that replies to shop reviews.

Research

A traffic violation platform, from officer app to camera

My bachelor's final-year project. It has four parts: an internal management system, a mobile app for traffic officers, a website where citizens check their violations and fees, and camera detection of speeding, lane changes and road crossing.

  • Team lead. I owned the backend and worked on the citizen website and the reports
  • Designed, built and tested. Not deployed in the field
  • .NET, Next.js, React Native and Tailwind CSS

Now: from detecting violations to predicting them

For my master's project at UTM I'm working on predicting traffic violations with machine learning. The work is at an early stage: the scope isn't fixed yet and there are no results to show.

  • Tools I work with: Python, SPSS, Weka and Orange
