💼 I sell the deal, manage the delivery, and architect the AI that ships — all three, in one person.
More
Over 13+ years I've closed $10M+ in technology sales (including a single $650K OEM distribution deal), engineered a sales system that drove 300% growth, and founded an AI division from zero that delivered for clients from UNICEF to Papa John's UAE. Most people in tech do one of three things — sell, manage, or build. I do all three. I can close a six-figure contract with a CFO, run the sprints that deliver it, and build the automation that powers it. 🤖 AI & Automation Founded and built Ibex Global's AI division ("Virtual World") from scratch — shipping the first-ever voice bots in Urdu, Pashto, Sindhi & Siraiki (no prior speech models existed), an autonomous ordering agent for Papa John's UAE, AI investment advisors for a UAE firm, and real-time contact-centre AI. Hands-on today with n8n, LLMs, AI agents, and Docker — recently migrated 20+ workflows from Zapier to n8n and built AI candidate-scoring pipelines (n8n + Recruiterflow + Ollama + Slack). 📊 GTM & Sales Engineering Rebuilt an entire sales engine on data — 24 live dashboards, 52 metrics, 30 staff — weaning the company off bidding platforms and driving 300% growth. Closed $10M+ across B2B, direct, and partnership channels, including a 3-year OEM deal that put an app on millions of devices. 🛠️ Project & Delivery Leadership Run 12+ concurrent Agile projects end-to-end (requirements → sprints → QA/UAT → sign-off → invoicing), and built and mentored 60+ professionals across sales, delivery, and AI teams — for clients including Dropbox, US Aid, and International Medical Center Jeddah. 🎓 Master's in AI · Fluent in English, Urdu & Arabic · Comfortable across MENA, US & European markets. 🌍 Open to remote and global roles in AI & automation, technical project management, and technical sales. 📩 DM me about AI builds, automation, GTM, or delivery — let's talk.
