DealFuel

Software Developer

Built HostWhisper (WhatsApp automation for Airbnb hosts — got acquired) and ReplySmart (AI messaging for real estate wholesalers — 5-figure MRR). Full-stack with Next.js and Convex. I touch everything — UI, backend, the lot.

December 2025 - Present

AMF Ventures

Software Developer

Built DesertKey — a vacation rental platform for luxury stays across Abu Dhabi's premium island communities. Deep Hostaway integration for property management, reservations, and guest comms. Next.js + Convex, full-stack.

February 2024 - March 2025

Vanly

Software Engineer

Three web apps — Next.js, Firebase, Supabase. Turned Figma mockups into real UIs, wired up Stripe payments, built a headless CMS, and automated workflows with cron jobs and database triggers. Also did some web scraping because sometimes you just need the data.

August 2022 - August 2025

Full Scale

Software Developer

Two projects — shipped features and squashed bugs on a large-scale React + .NET microservices app, then led dev on an AI SaaS platform across Next.js, Nuxt.js, and .NET APIs. Sped up team sprint velocity by 30% by fixing the Azure CI/CD pipeline (it was painful before).

February 2022 - May 2022

Lexmark

Software Engineer Intern

Overhauled a testing app used org-wide — better code, new features, presented the whole thing to the software department. They offered me a position before I even graduated.

December 2020 - December 2021

Presidential Commission for the Urban Poor

Automation Designer

Built an automation script (Sikuli + Python) to upload Excel data to a web database. Rewrote it later with Selenium and VBA — cut the process time in half. Encoders were very happy about that.
