My specialty is building in-house with AI: full-stack websites, property management platforms, invoice & quotation systems, and custom ERPs — replacing expensive third-party software with purpose-built solutions. I've led complete Microsoft 365 rollouts, Azure cloud migrations, JISR HRMS implementations, and multi-branch POS deployments.
