Before it’sbeautiful,it’s aspreadsheet.

I turn data into decisions: financial models, valuations, market research and the short briefs people read before they decide. I also build the tools behind it, from data pipelines to dashboards and AI that drafts the first analysis.

Selected work

machine-room

The machine room

One analyst, a shelf of tools that run unattended.

This is the machine room: data platforms that read the Dubai market, the tools that turn it into decisions, and the automations that keep both running unattended.

smart-deals

The client-facing surface

Ships the client-facing surface, not just the pipeline behind it.

MoreLess

A curated luxury property marketplace across ten markets - the UAE, France, Monaco, Switzerland, Thailand, Indonesia, Saudi Arabia, Oman, Azerbaijan and Georgia - designed and built end to end: layout, copy, a custom SVG world map and the animation throughout.

Buyers filter by country, type, beds, size and price, and switch between off-plan and resale. Six curated collections cut across all of it - Best Price, High Yield, Ready to Move, Early Access, High Growth and Trophy - each earned against a published Smart Deal Score, so a listing has to prove why it is there.

An ROI calculator models a purchase over three, five or ten years on conservative, base or aggressive assumptions. An AI advisor answers questions in plain language. Every route out - the enquiry form, a WhatsApp deep link, a thirty-minute call - lands on one named advisor rather than a queue.
