Full Stack Software Engineer at Kaizen Paint Middle East
Full-stack & AIEngineer
AI-powered products built end to end, from RAG pipelines and enterprise portals to mobile apps that ship clean and scale fast.
I build web and mobile products end to end. Over three years I've shipped Node.js, Django, Angular, React and Next.js platforms across healthcare, edtech, real estate and enterprise, and an AI-powered HR chatbot on RAG and Azure AI Search, owning each project from architecture to deployment.
Production web and mobile apps with Next.js, React, Angular and React Native up front, Node.js, Django and Flask behind them, shipped through CI/CD to the cloud.
Retrieval-augmented assistants and LLM features people use every day: RAG over company knowledge, Azure AI Search, OpenAI integrations and prompt design that keeps inference cheap.
My full-time role at a multinational paint manufacturer. Rebuilt a legacy codebase into a multi-tenant auto-refinish platform now live in UAE bodyshops, with an offline-first client; built a RAG HR-policy chatbot in Microsoft Teams for 200+ employees at half the inference cost; and shipped Kaizen SheetSmith, the TDS and MSDS document generator.
Alongside my full-time role, lead engineer for clients in the UK, Sri Lanka, India and Pakistan: taking MVPs from requirements to production with React, Node.js and Supabase, and automating management reporting with LLMs.
Led mobile development of Doorly, a React Native property app that folds five real-estate workflows into one, and built Ad-Shield, a document scanner that flags fraudulent listings.
Led a team of five to design and deploy a HIPAA-aligned telehealth and scheduling platform in Django and Next.js, and built a multi-portal LMS with role-based access for 500+ active users.
Computing and AI coursework, from deep learning and computer vision to distributed systems, with SnapTrace, an AI person-recognition tool for video, as the final-year project.
Pre-engineering studies in mathematics, physics and chemistry before computer science.
Paint platform for bodyshops
Jobs with panel-by-panel damage maps, colour formulas, mixing and inventory reports for Kaizen Paint Middle East, with an offline mode that keeps bodyshops working when the connection drops.
TDS and MSDS generator
Produces Kaizen Paint's Technical and Material Safety Data Sheets in one locked, approved layout. Authors fill in structured product data under fixed headings, and print-ready PDFs are rendered from it with the hazard, chemical and pictogram libraries. A separate admin portal manages users, libraries and templates.
UK Innovator Founder Visa platform
A self-service journey for founders applying under the UK Innovator Founder Visa: 17 configurable stages, an AI first-pass review at each one and a human reviewer on top. Behind it runs the internal operations portal for clients, cases, tasks, time, leads and analytics, with row-level security throughout.
Skills intelligence for small businesses
Turns CVs and project history into an evidence-linked map of the skills a team already has, then says whether to use, develop or hire. Every skill traces back to a line in a source document, AI proposes and a person confirms, and the requirements engine recalculates live with plain arithmetic rather than a model.
Halal evidence for restaurant groups
Connects suppliers, products, certificates and deliveries into one evidence chain per branch and flags broken links as explainable exceptions. Eight versioned, deterministic rules check every delivery, assisted capture reads documents but never decides an outcome, and four roles are scoped to one organisation.
Readiness for SEND support teams
Prepares each support worker for the specific child they are about to support. A deterministic engine turns a child's profile into requirements, checks the worker against them, unlocks access only when they are ready and records the evidence automatically. Built for SEND leads, teachers, agency workers and school administrators.
Change control for lifting operations
Flags which approved safety controls a site change may affect, explains why, and routes them to a competent person for review before any decision is made. Each decision creates a new version with a full audit trail, and the product never replaces professional assessment.
Equity compliance platform
UK employee-share-scheme compliance for finance, HR and legal teams. An AI Co-Pilot answers equity tax and accounting questions with RAG over UK legislation, and an ERS wizard fills the official HMRC annual-return templates. I fixed retrieval so questions are embedded the way the stored chunks were, and built out the share-based payment module.
