Alrajhi Investments
Full-Stack Developer
December 2018 – May 2020
Full-stack developer building internal business applications on Laravel. Designed and delivered a set of portals for the legal department, covering the workflows and record-keeping the team relied on day to day, and built an in-house digital signage platform for managing and scheduling content across corporate displays. Worked directly with non-technical stakeholders to translate departmental requirements into working systems, owning each project end to end — data modelling, backend architecture, and front-end delivery.

Freelance
Freelance Web Developer
May 2014 – December 2018
Independent developer working with clients directly rather than through an agency. Delivered custom web applications and business systems in PHP and Laravel, owning the entire lifecycle — scoping requirements with the client, designing the data model, building and deploying the application, then supporting it in production. Over four years of end-to-end ownership across varied domains, and the foundation the later enterprise work was built on.

Frequently Asked Questions
I offer technology consulting, digital solutions architecture, and custom software development. Whether you need strategic guidance, a full platform built from scratch, or modernization of existing systems — I can help.
I've worked across telecom, real estate, property management, HR, travel, and SaaS. My experience allows me to adapt quickly to any industry and understand its unique challenges.
Both. I work with ambitious startups looking to build their first product, as well as established enterprises and government entities that need to scale or modernize their systems.
I handle both. Whether it's building something new from the ground up or jumping into an existing codebase to fix, improve, or scale it — I'm comfortable either way.
I believe in clear, consistent communication. I provide regular updates, use project management tools, and make sure you're always in the loop — no surprises, no black boxes.
My core stack includes Laravel, PHP, FilamentPHP, Vue.js, React Native, and Oracle databases. But I choose the technology based on what your project actually needs — not the other way around.
It depends on the scope. A landing page or MVP can take 2–4 weeks, while a full enterprise platform may take 3–6 months. I always provide a clear timeline before we start.
Yes. I offer post-launch support and maintenance packages to make sure your product stays healthy, secure, and up to date as your business grows.
