About

From Computer Science graduate to head of technology at a Saudi DMC.

I'm a Computer Science graduate from King Abdulaziz University (GPA 4.18/5) currently leading the entire technology stack at ARA Travel, a Saudi Destination Management Company, as a one-person engineering team.

Over the past two years, I've architected and shipped a multi-agent AI travel platform now in production (ARA Brain), rebuilt the company's digital infrastructure on Microsoft 365 and Next.js, integrated 21 external SaaS systems, and launched four customer-facing web properties.

Before that, at Najeeb Auto, I designed the company's CRM architecture from the ground up, moving the lead lifecycle from manual email forwarding to a fully classified, auto-routed pipeline across six departments.

What I Do Best

  • Translating fuzzy business needs into deployed, working technical systems
  • Building AI agents that integrate with real business operations, not just demos
  • Architecting solutions across cloud, automation, and integration layers
  • Negotiating and managing complex multi-vendor SaaS relationships
  • Leading projects end-to-end: from discovery and architecture to deployment and operations

Codex

Legacy code refactoring

Anthropic API

Multi-agent orchestration

Ollama

Local LLM inference

These tools are part of my daily workflow. The deeper work is architecting production systems where AI carries real responsibility. ARA Brain runs Claude Sonnet with custom tool-routing across 6 specialized agents, handling real customer inquiries through to quote dispatch.

Each project below is work I led end-to-end, with concrete scope and outcomes I can walk through in an interview.

Project 01 · Multi-Agent AI Platform

ARA Brain

In Production

Lead Architect and Engineer · ARA Travel

A 6-agent AI system that ingests customer inquiries via WhatsApp and email, routes them through specialized agents (Concierge, Email, WhatsApp, Contract, Operations, Staff Review), generates travel itineraries using Claude Sonnet with tool-calling, and handles end-to-end quote dispatch with human-in-the-loop approval for high-value quotes.

  • Migrated from template-based responses to a Sonnet-with-tools architecture with an 11-tool router (search, distance-matrix calculations, availability check, finalize) governed by an anti-hallucination validator that rejects any item lacking a traceable source
  • Implemented price-tier gating (preliminary / firm / locked) governed by formal contracts spanning 22 enumerated requirements
  • Enforced HMAC-SHA256 webhook signature verification with constant-time comparison across all payment integrations, plus idempotency guarantees and replay protection
  • Designed a three-tier security model: backend-only service keys, signed webhooks, and feature-flag-gated rollout
  • Engineered Circuit Breaker pattern with state-machine recovery for AI gateway resilience, alongside 15 async background workers (asyncio.gather with graceful SIGTERM shutdown)

  • Stage 2 (Current State): mapped the existing semi-automated flow combining ClickUp, Autoline, and Excel handoffs
