I build mobile apps — the real kind, native, shipped to the store, used by actual people — and lately the AI systems inside them. I've been doing the first for 20 years and the second long enough to know where it actually pays off. I'm Expert-Vetted on Upwork (top 1% of talent), with 100% Job Success, 5,700+ hours, and $200K+ earned. Behind that is 20+ years in software — a decade architecting enterprise systems at Accenture for Fortune 500s, then CTO of a SaaS startup I scaled from 3 to 30+ engineers and took to consumer scale. I'm completing Stanford's AI Professional Program now. What you get is a CTO-caliber technologist who never stopped writing production code. I work two ways, depending on what you need: ⸻ ★ MOBILE APPS — zero to App Store ★ (fixed-price) You have an idea or a validated concept; I deliver the finished app, live in the App Store and Play Store. Architecture, design, frontend, backend, deployment, and the part most people underestimate — actually getting through store review, native builds, push, Live Activities, the works. I've shipped 20+ mobile apps, several used by hundreds of thousands of people, and I handle the whole build personally. Shipping a native app to a store is a different discipline than deploying a web app, and it's the discipline I've spent years in. ★ AI SYSTEMS — design & build ★ (hourly) Production AI/LLM systems, not prototypes. My recent work is a multi-vendor LLM pipeline that benchmarked 21 model-and-strategy combinations across Claude, GPT, and Gemini over 54 recipe sources in 7 countries — automated quality scoring against an Opus gold-standard reference, and cost tuned across a 150x price spread down to the best quality-per-dollar. The hard part of AI work isn't calling an API; it's knowing where AI actually earns its keep, which model fits which job, and how to architect a pipeline that holds up in production. That's what I do, then I build it — often straight into the mobile products above. ⸻ The background behind that: 10 years at Accenture on large-scale systems for Fortune 500s in healthcare, telecom, oil & gas, and retail. Then CTO at a SaaS startup — engineering scaled 3 to 40, a multi-service platform shipped with payments, identity, and real-time processing running at consumer scale. 📎 Stanford — AI Professional Program (completing August 2026) 📎 Kellogg — Product Strategy 📎 TOGAF Certified Enterprise Architect ⸻ Native Mobile (React Native / Expo, App Store & Play Store delivery) · TypeScript/JavaScript · LLM APIs (Claude, GPT, Gemini) · Prompt Engineering · Multi-Model Pipelines · React · Next.js · Node.js · Supabase · PostgreSQL · AWS · Solution Architecture

I help startups and SaaS teams ship reliable, well-tested products by combining structured QA practices with a strong technical and SEO background. I’m a QA-focused engineer with hands-on experience testing AI-driven web applications like Noveli, where I designed and executed test cases, validated critical user flows (authentication, validation, content generation), and introduced automated testing using Cypress. I also bring experience with Playwright and CI/CD workflows to ensure consistent quality across releases. 🔹 What I Do Best QA & Testing (Primary Focus) Manual testing (functional, regression, exploratory) Test case design & documentation Clear, actionable bug reporting End-to-end testing with Cypress & Playwright CI/CD testing integration Technical & SEO Support (Secondary Strength) Technical SEO (indexing, site structure, performance) Debugging SEO-impacting issues (rendering, metadata, crawlability) Programmatic SEO systems (Next.js + CMS) Development Background (Supporting Skill) Frontend & backend debugging (React, Next.js, Node.js) Understanding of application architecture → better test coverage API testing & workflow automation (Zapier, Make) 🔹 Why Clients Work With Me I don’t just test—I understand how the product is built, which leads to deeper, more effective QA Experience with AI products and complex user flows (chatbots, dynamic content, edge cases) Strong focus on clarity, documentation, and reproducibility Able to move fast while maintaining structured QA processes Multilingual: English, French, Arabic If you need someone who can quickly understand your product, identify critical issues, and improve overall quality, I’m ready to jump in and contribute immediately.
