Selected engineering work
DataQ Operations
Private Operations & Task Management Platform
Python · Django 5.2 · PostgreSQL · Chart.js · WeasyPrint
- Designed a client-specific operations platform around Service → Engagement → Month → Category → Task workflows, replacing generic work-management logic with explicit business rules.
- Implemented exact-month access boundaries, assignment-scoped employee actions, support/escalation blockers, lifecycle-controlled month close/reopen/duplicate flows, management assessments, reminders, and audit history.
- Built hidden Riyadh business-time intelligence, executive dashboards, employee activity analytics, and weekly PDF reporting; validated v1.7 with browser UAT and a 591/591 regression pass before promotion to main.
DataSense
Business Analytics & Forecasting Platform
Python · Django · Pandas · Prophet · scikit-learn · OpenAI API
- Co-developed a four-person graduation project for Excel/CSV sales ingestion, dashboards, SKU inventory, three-month forecasting, market-basket analysis, secure authentication, and a multilingual contextual chatbot.
- Re-engineered the project after graduation by separating service logic, moving sensitive configuration to environment variables, strengthening validation and security, and improving analytics, forecasting, UI consistency, and maintainability.
- Validated the original system with 17 documented functional tests and datasets exceeding 1,000 rows; the refactored release passed 122 automated tests.
DataQ Reporting
Financial Reporting Platform
Python · Django 5.2 · Pandas · OpenPyXL · Matplotlib
- Engineered role-based Django workflows for Admin, Staff, and Client users, including report assignments, client management, authentication, activity logging, validation, and controlled deletion requests.
- Automated bilingual trial-balance Excel ingestion and Arabic–English account mapping to generate financial statements, six KPI cards, vertical analysis, warnings, charts, and PDF reports.
SAMT
Adaptive Productivity Desktop Application
Python · PySide6 · QML · SQLite · Windows
- Engineered a modular Windows productivity application covering projects, prepared workspaces, task planning, focus sessions, local activity signals, and Arabic/English LTR/RTL interfaces.
- Implemented SQLite migrations, isolated user-data storage, diagnostics, automated acceptance checks, and Windows installer validation for clean-install and upgrade scenarios.
Iffah
Privacy-First Local Visual Filtering
C# · .NET · Windows · Direct3D 11 · DXGI · ONNX
- Designed a local-first real-time visual filtering pipeline with separate capture, inference, deterministic policy, and rendering stages.
- Treats stale, uncertain, or failed pipeline states conservatively, with privacy-oriented acceptance gates and no capture retention by default.
