What I build

Not just Odoo — the whole stack

Thirteen years across the layers a real product needs. Every one of these is something I have shipped and maintained, not something I have read about.

  • Web applications

    Customer-facing platforms and internal dashboards that stay fast as they grow.

    • Next.js
    • React
    • TypeScript
    • Tailwind

  • Backend & APIs

    The engine room: business logic, integrations and services other systems depend on.

    • C# / .NET
    • Python
    • PHP / Laravel
    • Node.js

  • Mobile apps

    One codebase for iOS and Android, published and maintained on both stores.

    • React Native
    • Expo

  • Databases & performance

    Where slow systems get fixed: schema design, query tuning, and rescuing what has become painful to use.

    • PostgreSQL
    • SQL Server
    • MySQL
    • MongoDB

  • Cloud & infrastructure

    Servers, containers and networks defined in code — so an environment can be rebuilt on demand rather than reconstructed from memory.

    • AWS
    • Google Cloud
    • Docker
    • Terraform
    • Linux
    • Nginx

  • CI/CD & automation

    Push code, the tests run, and the change deploys itself. Releases become routine instead of an event nobody wants to schedule.

    • GitHub Actions
    • Jenkins
    • Docker
    • Automated testing
    • Staging environments

  • AI-assisted delivery

    I build the tooling, not just use it — including developer tools I publish openly.

    • FastAPI
    • LangChain
    • Ollama

I understand the operations, not just the code

Most developers need the process explained to them. I have spent years inside accounting, stock and sales — so we can argue about the process, not just the screen.

  • Inventory & warehouse operations
  • Accounting & financial reporting
  • Sales, pricing & discounts
  • Purchasing & suppliers
  • Retail & point of sale
  • Leading development teams

Ready-made solutions

Things I have already built for other businesses

Across retail, restaurants, manufacturing, HR, real estate, education and e-commerce. If one of these describes your problem, most of the work is already done.

Retail & point of sale 5 solutions
  • Branch & warehouse access control

    Each branch sees and sells only its own stock. Cashiers cannot pull inventory from a warehouse they do not belong to.

  • Stock guardrails at the till

    Stop selling what you do not have — the till refuses out-of-stock items, or offers an alternative that is in stock.

  • Discount & credit limits

    A maximum discount per cashier, and credit customers stopped at the till once they pass their limit.

  • Return & refund controls

    Restrict which payment methods a refund can return to and who may process one — and capture the reason every time.

  • Branch monitoring & salesperson tracking

    Alerts when a branch opens late or closes early, and every sale attributed to the employee who made it.

Restaurants & hospitality 3 solutions
  • Kitchen display & preparation screens

    Orders routed to the right kitchen station as they are taken, with duplicate tickets where a station needs them.

  • Tables, seats & guest counts

    Seat-level assignment, guest counts captured automatically, and order tabs held under the customer's name.

  • Receipts in Arabic, on any printer

    Arabic product names on the receipt, Bluetooth printer support, and automatic invoice printing.

Accounting, approvals & compliance 3 solutions
  • Approval workflows

    Payments, expenses, budgets and safety sign-offs routed by department before anything posts to the books.

  • Reports with opening balances

    Trial balance, general ledger and partner ledger that carry opening balances correctly — plus petty cash and custody.

  • Analytic accounting & cost centers

    Every invoice, payment and expense carries its project or branch, so profitability is a report rather than a spreadsheet.

HR & payroll 3 solutions
  • Document expiry tracking

    Residency permits, licenses and contracts that warn you before they expire, not after.

  • Leave, attendance & resignation

    Leave requests submitted by email, attendance controls, manager time-off, and end-of-service settlement reports.

  • Multi-company HR & payroll

    One HR department across several legal entities, with payroll extensions and appraisal tracking.

Manufacturing, projects & real estate 4 solutions
  • Production & BOM controls

    Quantity validation on production and picking, and fixed-cost handling for by-products.

  • Project budgets & targets

    Allocated time, budgets per project, submittals for construction, and every document in one place.

  • Property & real estate management

    Units, tenants and managed properties with contract terms carried through to the accounts.

  • Field service & maintenance

    Branch and area-based maintenance requests with timeslot capacity, so a technician cannot be overbooked.

E-commerce, e-learning & integrations 4 solutions
  • Salla store integration

    Products, stock and orders kept in step between your Salla storefront and Odoo — in both directions.

  • Payment gateways

    AlRajhi, ClickPay, UPayments/KNET, Tamara and Tabby — each reconciling correctly against the accounts.

  • Courses, exams & certificates

    A full e-learning platform: course catalogs and filters, an exam system, certificate issuing, video hosting and live sessions.

  • WhatsApp notifications & surveys

    Order updates and customer satisfaction surveys sent over WhatsApp, where customers actually read them.

Reporting & data 3 solutions
  • Custom reporting engine

    Reports the standard views cannot express — filters, drill-downs, branch scoping and Excel export.

  • Inventory aging & margins

    What has been sitting on the shelf, for how long, and which products actually make money.

  • Bulk import & data clean-up

    Bulk importers for charts of accounts and master data, plus safe batch-merging of duplicate customers.

Ask about one of these Not on the list? Most requests turn out to be a variation on something here.

How I can help

What you can hire me for

Whether you have a system that has stopped keeping up, or something you need built from scratch.

  • Make a slow system fast

    Staff have stopped complaining because they gave up. I find what is actually slow and fix it — usually without anyone stopping work.

  • Odoo implementation & rescue

    New rollouts, or taking over a build that stalled. Accounting, inventory, POS, manufacturing and everything between.

  • Odoo version upgrades

    Moving off an old version without losing your customizations — or your data. I have done it across three major versions on a live business.

  • Payments & integrations

    Local card payments, buy-now-pay-later, and connecting the systems that refuse to talk to each other.

  • Build a product

    Web and mobile, from the first screen to the infrastructure it runs on. Built to handle real traffic, in Arabic and English.

  • CI/CD & deployment pipelines

    If deploying is scary, it happens rarely — and rare deployments are the risky ones. I set up pipelines that test and ship automatically, with a way back when something is wrong.

  • Technical leadership

    Code review, standards and mentoring for a team that is growing faster than its habits.

Talk it through

Results, not screenshots

Client names are withheld. The numbers are not — every one comes from a system I can open.

Fixing slow systems

Staff had accepted the system was slow. It wasn't — it was fixable.

A retail group with dozens of branches. The busiest screens took about a second to open, and one page froze for nine. Fixed on the live system during working hours — nobody was sent home.

Odoo upgrades

Three versions forward, on a live business, without losing a record

One of the largest custom Odoo systems I have worked on, brought up to date without a shutdown — including the parts the vendor rewrote twice underneath us.

Payment integrations

Customers pay the way they expect to — and the books still balance

Local card payments and buy-now-pay-later, wired end to end. Five payment platforms, each reconciling correctly against the accounts.

Building a product

A hotel booking platform built for real traffic, in Arabic and English

Search, availability, checkout and payment — with the cloud infrastructure defined in code so it can be rebuilt from scratch on demand.

Open source

I fix the cause, not just the instance

Work I have published for other people to use — including a security fix that now ships with the install script the Odoo community relies on.

The route here

Thirteen years, one step at a time

I did not start with ERP. Every stop before it is why the ERP work holds up.

  1. 2013 — 2018

    First production system

    A school management platform in daily use. It taught me that the data model outlives every screen you build on top of it.

  2. 2018 — 2021

    Full-stack & mobile

    Websites, custom dashboards, mobile apps — and the phone systems and networks behind them.

  3. 2021 — 2022

    E-commerce & payments

    Online platforms and payment gateways. Handling money taught me to build things that reconcile.

  4. 2021 →

    Odoo, from day one

    Joined an Odoo practice at its founding — no team, no codebase, no standards. I helped build all three.

  5. 2023 — 2024

    Teaching engineers

    A year leading instructors at an applied-technology school. It is the reason my code reviews are any good.

  6. 2024 →

    Technical team lead

    Leading and mentoring a development team, owning the architecture and standards, and taking on the problems nobody else can solve.
