Fleet
Led the team · built calls, social auto-posting and chat media
Lebanon's car marketplace. Buyers call dealers from inside the app: it rings like a real call, even when the app is closed, and numbers stay private.

Nota
Lead engineer, built it end to end
A padel score book for Dubai: one player logs the match, the other team confirms it, and only then does anyone's rating move.
Rating algorithm and redesign by the client. I ported it into Postgres, proved it with tests and fixed its order-dependence flaw.
