🌍 SENIOR PRODUCT MANAGER | FINTECH, SAAS & AI | NATIVE ARABIC + FLUENT ENGLISH I turn complex, ambiguous ideas into products people actually use, and I make sure every stakeholder, in any language, knows exactly what's happening and why. 10+ years building and shipping digital products. I work across fintech, payments, SaaS, mobile apps, platforms, and marketplaces, wherever there's a real problem worth solving. 📊 RESULTS I'M PROUD OF - Led roadmap and launch of a digital banking suite, lending, wallets, bill payments, merchant and corporate portals, serving millions of users - Built the product function at an edtech startup from zero: $8M+ in revenue opportunities created and 60% growth on less than 30% of the prior year's budget - 13+ contracts delivered on Upwork for clients across the US, Europe, and the GCC 💬 COMMUNICATION IS MY EDGE Most product problems are really communication problems. I write clear specs that engineers can build without guessing, run stakeholder conversations that end in decisions (not more meetings), and keep one source of truth everyone trusts. Native Arabic and fluent in professional English mean I bridge Egypt, Saudi Arabia, the UAE, MENA, and global teams effortlessly, on calls, in docs, and in the room. 🎯 WHAT I DELIVER - Build-ready documentation, BRDs, PRDs, user stories, use cases, acceptance criteria - Product strategy & roadmaps grounded in research and data, not guesswork - End-to-end ownership, discovery, release planning, launch, and post-launch performance - Agile/Scrum delivery, backlog refinement, sprint planning, cross-functional leadership - Market and competitive analysis that sharpens what to build next ⚙️ HOW I WORK Milestone-based and evidence-backed. I break work into clear deliverables, surface risks early, document every decision, and send written progress updates you don't have to ask for, working in Jira, Confluence, Google AI Studio, Loveable and Figma. You'll always know where things stand. 🤝 LET'S TALK If you're building or scaling a digital product and want a PM who owns both the details and the big picture, message me with your goal and timeline, and I'll tell you how I'd approach it.

Startups hire me to take a SaaS idea from zero to a live, working product frontend, backend, database, auth, payments, and AI features included. I built PropChex from scratch: a real estate SaaS platform with active paying users, handling listings, vendor management, task coordination, and encrypted property access. That's the standard I bring to every client build. What I Help With: Whether you need a full SaaS platform, a web application, or AI features added to an existing product, I cover the full build: - SaaS & Web Application Development: end-to-end builds using React, Next.js, and Node.js, from database architecture and API integration to frontend and deployment - API Development & Integration: RESTful APIs, third-party API connections, webhook systems, and payment gateway integration including Stripe - Database Design & Architecture: relational and non-relational database design using PostgreSQL, MongoDB, MySQL, SQLite, and Supabase; schema planning, query optimization, and scalable data modeling - Frontend Development: React, JavaScript, TypeScript, HTML5, CSS3, Tailwind CSS; clean, responsive interfaces built for real products. - Backend & Server-Side Logic: Node.js, Python, API layers, server configuration including NGINX and Apache HTTP Server, and scalable backend systems - Auth & Payments: Clerk, Stripe, and payment gateway integration built cleanly into the product stack - AI Feature Integration: Claude API, OpenAI API, intelligent automation, multi-turn flows, structured outputs, and agentic workflows. - Deployment & Infrastructure: Vercel, Netlify, Replit; production deployments that ship and stay up - No-Code Augmentation: Bubbleio for rapid prototyping or hybrid builds when it fits the product strategy What I Do: I specialize in full-stack SaaS development using Next.js, React, Node.js, and Convex with real AI integrations using the Claude API and OpenAI API. Not surface-level chatbots. Meaningful AI features: intelligent automation, structured outputs, multi-turn flows, and agent workflows that actually change how a product works. Who I Work With: Founders and product teams who need a single developer to own the full build not a patchwork of freelancers. If you're building an MVP, a SaaS platform, an internal tool, or an AI-powered product, I can take it from spec to deployment. Tech I Work With Daily: - Frontend: Next.js, React, TypeScript, JavaScript, HTML5, CSS3, Tailwind CSS - Backend: Node.js, Python, Convex, PostgreSQL, MongoDB, MySQL, Supabase - Auth & Payments: Clerk, Stripe, payment gateway integration - API & Integration: REST APIs, third-party API integration, webhooks - AI: Claude API (Anthropic-certified), OpenAI API, AI agents & automation - Deployment: Vercel, Netlify, NGINX, Apache HTTP Server, Replit What Clients Get: 1. Clean, documented codebases not demos, not throwaway prototypes. Production-ready software your team can maintain and scale. I'm direct about timelines, communicate clearly throughout, and deliver clean handoffs. 2. Anthropic-certified in production AI development. AWS Certified Cloud Practitioner. Meta Front-End Developer certified. If you're building something real and need a developer who can own the whole stack, let's talk.
