Scroll to discoverAI Product Owner · Client discovery · Delivery coordination
I turn ideas into demos, clear scopes and a path to delivery.
I work with clients and technical teams to define what needs to be built, make it tangible with AI-assisted demos, and turn feedback into requirements a team can deliver. Based in Doha, I bring together client conversations, product decisions and delivery coordination.
People. Product. Clarity.
The part of the work I care about
An idea gets more interesting when someone can see it, question it and help shape it. That's the part of the work I enjoy: taking a conversation and making it concrete enough for the next decision.
My engineering background helps me understand the technical possibilities. My day-to-day work is about people, product decisions and clarity: what are we solving, how should it work, and what does the team need to move forward? AI tools are part of how I explore those questions and make the answers tangible.
Working together
Where I could fit in your team
You have a product idea that needs definition.
Founders & product teams
I turn the concept into user flows, a demo and an agreed scope you can react to.
You deliver software or AI solutions to clients.
Consultancies & solution providers
I connect discovery, demos and requirements with your delivery team.
Your organisation wants to put AI to work.
Enterprise & public sector
I shape the use cases, demonstrate the workflows and coordinate adoption.
What I bring to all three
- Product thinkingFlows, priorities and decisions people can react to.
- AI-assisted demosWorking prototypes instead of slides.
- Clear requirementsSOW, SRS and briefs the delivery team can build from.
One shared direction for the people making decisions and the team delivering the work.
How I work
From a conversation to a working brief
Discover
Understand the client's concept, the users, the problem and the constraints.
Demo
Build a working demo of the proposed experience with AI tools.
Refine
Walk stakeholders through it, capture changes and agree the decisions.
Scope & SRS
Turn the decisions into the SOW, SRS and supporting documentation.
Coordinate delivery
Keep the client and the technical team connected as the work develops.
What the team leaves with
- A working demo
- Decisions in writing
- A clear delivery brief
Where I am now
My work at Sinwan
My employer · Google Cloud Partner · Doha, QatarSinwan Business Solutions · Google Cloud Partner · Doha, Qatar
AI Product Owner · September 2025–present
At Sinwan I lead six enterprise-scale AI projects for Qatar's Ministry of Endowments and Islamic Affairs, the latest being Mushaf Qatar, and I own the product side of each one: stakeholder discussions, requirements, presentations and demos, and the follow-through into delivery. I also work on AI adoption and training initiatives and coordinate with Google teams on platform capabilities and project needs.
What the role covers
- Requirements — clarify the intended experience with clients and stakeholders and turn it into what the team builds.
- Demos and proof of concept — prepare demos, presentations and proof-of-concept material that move discussions to decisions.
- Scope and specification — write the scopes of work and software requirements that guide implementation.
- Client and team coordination — keep clients and development teams aligned as requirements evolve.
- AI adoption — support enterprise AI adoption and training, including Google Gemini Enterprise.
- Google Cloud partnership — coordinate partnership activities and discussions about relevant services.

Mushaf Qatar
Launched by Qatar's Ministry of Endowments and Islamic Affairs
Latest achievement: Mushaf Qatar
Mushaf Qatar is now public.
A recent milestone in my work: the updated Mushaf Qatar application, launched by Qatar's Ministry of Endowments and Islamic Affairs and available on Google Play and the App Store. The application brings together Quran reading, listening, tafsir and memorization support.
My role in the release
I owned the new release as its product owner, from the first client conversation to the store launch.
- Feature design — designed the new features and how every end-user feature works.
- SRS and SDD — wrote the detailed requirements and design documents for the entire app.
- Client requirements — coordinated every requirement with the Ministry, decisions in writing.
- First demo — built the first working demo that set the direction of the release.
- Team leadership — led the development team through delivery.
- Quality — took part directly in QA of every feature and the app's look and feel.
A few things along the way
Presenting at Web Summit Qatar
At Web Summit Qatar 2026, I presented a Google Cloud partner's AI media-creation solution at the Google Cloud stand. I demonstrated the product and explained its workflow to visitors.
Sharing the process
Catch-UpCatch-Up — sharing how I work with AI
Catch-Up turns news from multiple sources into Arabic and English digests using Google ADK and Gemini. Its workflow gathers, processes and summarizes the news in one place.
I presented the project at GDG Doha's Built with AI — Community Showcase, at the Google Cloud Qatar Center of Excellence on 20 June 2026.
Building with a team
My graduation project · Ain Shams UniversityTEAN Mate — my graduation project
TEAN Mate is my graduation project at Ain Shams University: a browser extension that makes web content more accessible through speech, image descriptions and sign-language features. It was selected among the top 30 projects in a nationwide competition in Egypt.
Qatar ↔ Egypt
The background behind my work
My path runs through school in Qatar and Computer Engineering at Ain Shams University in Egypt. That technical foundation helps me work through product questions with developers and understand the choices behind a proposed solution.
Languages: Arabic — native; English — professional working proficiency.

Build, delivery and AI-assisted work
When a demo has to become something real, this is the stack I reach for. AI tools are part of how I work every day: agentic workflows, deliberate context engineering and human-in-the-loop review keep the output reliable and the documents accurate.
