I build Laravel backends, WordPress solutions, and AI integrations — and I can also run your whole project as a PMP®-certified Technical Project Manager. RECENT WORK: ▸ TrueHelpers (truehelpers) — Two-sided marketplace for home services + food delivery operating in Pakistan and Canada. I built the Laravel backend and the React Native mobile apps: provider verification, bookings, multi-currency payments, real-time order tracking, and a separate partner app. ▸ Raabta Mobile App (Pakistan) — Led end-to-end delivery of this cloud-backed civic engagement app to 1M+ downloads as Technical Project Manager: backend scalability, API performance, release planning, and post-launch monitoring with the engineering team. ▸ madrassati.fr (France) — Laravel backend and REST APIs powering the web platform and its Android/iOS apps: database architecture, API performance, and AWS deployment. ▸ Renad Al Majd Group — RMG (Saudi Arabia) — Delivered the One E-Mall e-commerce platform for this leading Saudi digital transformation firm, end-to-end from requirements through launch. ▸ Almarai (Saudi Arabia) — Supplier Quality Management portal for one of the Middle East's largest food companies: enterprise B2B web application handling supplier logins, quality workflows, and reporting. WHAT I DO: 🔧 LARAVEL & BACKEND — REST APIs for web and mobile, Eloquent, MySQL, third-party API integrations, performance optimization, legacy code rescue. 📱 MOBILE — React Native apps backed by my own Laravel APIs — one developer for backend + app means no integration finger-pointing. 🌐 WORDPRESS — Custom themes and plugins, WooCommerce, migrations, speed optimization, maintenance. 🤖 AI INTEGRATIONS — RAG pipelines, OpenAI/LLM APIs, chatbots, voice agents, and automations built into real products. ☁️ DEPLOYMENT — AWS Certified Solutions Architect (Associate). EC2, S3, RDS, cPanel, Apache, GitHub CI/CD. I deploy and maintain what I build. 📋 TECHNICAL PROJECT MANAGEMENT — PMP® certified, 8+ years managing software delivery: Agile/Scrum, Jira, distributed teams. Led delivery of a mobile app that reached 1M+ downloads. Hire me to manage your dev team — or to build AND manage, with no translation layer between PM and developer. HOW WE'LL WORK: You describe the project → 2) I reply with a scoped plan, milestones, and honest timeline → 3) Daily progress updates in your preferred tool → 4) Delivery with documentation and post-launch support. FAQ: • Existing codebase? Yes — most of my contracts involve improving or extending live Laravel/WordPress systems. • Long-term? Yes — many clients keep me on retainer for maintenance and new features after launch. • Time zone? I overlap with EU mornings-to-evenings and US mornings, and respond within hours. Send your project details and I'll come back with a concrete plan and quote — usually the same day.
