Summer 2024: I’m an intern at Ninja — a delivery app. I get to see how everything works behind the scenes. Watching only — intern rules.
So I spend the summer studying it: how orders get grouped, how drivers get paid, how the numbers always add up.
That summer, I watched.
I wanted to build.
In 2025, I joined Rekaz — and started building.

I built the Loyalty Program from scratch — and shipped features across the CRM. It helps service businesses — salons, clinics, gyms — bring their customers back.
0average revenue per merchant account — loyalty launched as a paid add-on, and merchants bought it.
I built RekazAds — it lets merchants run ads without wasting money on beginner mistakes. I run ads myself, so I knew every mistake to remove.

At Rekaz, I built the live-notification system: the moment a customer books or pays, the merchant’s phone pings.

Every story on this page ends in a number.
Eighteen months ago, I was the intern taking notes on a system I couldn’t touch.
Today, around 3,500 payments — over SAR 900,000 — will move from customers to merchants through code I wrote. Automatically. All day, every day.
