Projects
Things I’ve built. Some for millions, some for myself.
Side Projects
dawatnama.app
2026 — ongoing
Beautiful digital invitations for weddings and events. Built it because every desi invitation app was either ugly or overpriced. A weekend project that stuck — and my excuse to learn modern web development properly (Next.js, Tailwind, Vercel).
Tech: Next.js, Tailwind, Vercel
Islamic Finance App (Planning)
2025
Proper Zakat calculation with Hijri calendar. Wasiyat management. Halal investment tracking.
Still in design phase. Want to get this right before building it.
Professional Work
Cashia Consumer Experience (Engineering Manager)
2026 — Present
Leading the squad that owns all customer-facing digital channels at Cashia — a fintech building payments infrastructure for Africa. Consumer Mobile (Android + iOS via KMM), Web Portal, and Onboarding.
Scope: 5 engineers, 3 platforms, everything the customer sees.
Cashia Platform Foundations (Lead Mobile Engineer)
2025 — 2026
Built the platform infrastructure that underpins how every Cashia feature ships: Feature Flag framework (adopted company-wide), Forced App Update mechanism, mocking layer for parallel frontend/backend development, unified login/sign-up client-side flow.

Tamara Card
2023 — 2025
Built the entire card issuance feature on Android from scratch — architecture, Network International SDK integration, Google Pay provisioning. One of the first BNPL cards in Saudi Arabia.
Foodpanda & Sister Apps
2021 — 2023
Growth features for 120M+ users across 20 countries at Delivery Hero. Spearheaded Jetpack Compose adoption (~3x faster UI development), A/B testing infrastructure, led KMM evaluation R&D.
Airlift Consumer App
2020 — 2021
From first line of code to 1M+ users. Built both the passenger and driver apps. On-device ETA calculation engine, contactless passenger onboarding.
Open Source
Small contributions to various Android libraries. Nothing major yet.
Side Experiments
- Meeting Parser — WhatsApp to Google Calendar automation
- Prayer Time Widget — Clean Android widget with accurate calculations
- Markdown Resume — Because PDFs are painful
I believe in building things that solve real problems. Sometimes that’s for millions of users, sometimes it’s just for me.
