UAE-Vetwork: Co-founder & CTO As Co-founder & CTO, I solely conceived, architected, designed, developed, and deployed UAE-Vetwork, a full-scale SaaS recruitment platform, within an intensive 3-month period. The platform serves as a specialised hub connecting skilled veterans and first responders with employers in the UAE & GCC, supporting a wider initiative offering services and community for this demographic. It provides UAE-Vetwork's internal recruitment team with a comprehensive CRM to manage candidate data (profiles, CVs, service history, career preferences, etc.) and facilitates a consent-driven, curated matching process between vetted candidates and potential employers. The platform achieved rapid user adoption (1800+ veterans connected, scaling to 1000+ active users shortly after launch), receiving positive feedback for its stability and impact. Recently, I have extended the platform to include premium paid career services (e.g., CV reviews, interview preparation and bundles) directly for candidates.
Sole End-to-End Platform Delivery & Technical Direction Single-handedly architected, designed, developed, and deployed the entire full-stack SaaS platform within an intensive 3-month timeframe. Defined the complete technical vision and product roadmap, embedding data privacy and user consent mechanisms from inception, including full configuration of secure custom domain email infrastructure (Google Workspace, Netlify DNS for MX, SPF, DKIM, DMARC).
Proactive Scalable Infrastructure & Security Engineering Engineered the platform for high availability and performance by selecting Supabase Pro (compute) and Netlify Pro plans, ensuring robust backend infrastructure and low-latency global hosting. Integrated Arcjet for essential rate limiting and bot protection.
Complex Relational Database Architecture & ORM Implementation Designed and implemented a comprehensive PostgreSQL schema using Drizzle ORM, meticulously modelling user roles, multi-stage vetting processes, consent timestamps, marketing preferences, detailed candidate profiles, secure file storage, referral tracking systems, and service order management.
