Cloud / DevOps
in Medina
Medina operators don't need another long-winded proposal — they need cloud / devops delivered by one senior engineer, on a fixed price, with weekly demos and zero junior hand-offs. That's exactly how this engagement runs.
The cloud / devops problem in Medina.
Many Saudi platforms run on a single VPS with no backups, no observability and a deploy process that involves SSHing in.

Why Medina operators commission this engagement.
I'm small, fast and senior-only. Medina operators hire me when they've already been burned by an agency and need someone who actually owns the build from architecture to launch.
Process is deliberately boring: short discovery call → written proposal with SAR pricing and timeline → milestone-based delivery → launch + 30 days of post-launch support.
Local Saudi stack for Medina builds
Every Saudi engagement ships with the local payment, compliance and identity rails integrated from day one — no surprise vendor selection at the end of the build. Medina operators expect Mada + Apple Pay as the default checkout, Tabby and Tamara as BNPL options, ZATCA Phase 2 e-invoicing on every invoice, and Arabic-first UX with proper RTL — and that's exactly what gets delivered.

Web development
Most Saudi businesses still run on slow, template-based sites that don't convert mobile traffic or rank in Arabic search.
3–5 weeks
Full-stack development
You need a single senior engineer who owns frontend, backend and infrastructure — not three half-engaged contractors.
6–10 weeks
SaaS development
Saudi operators with painful workflows can charge SAR 500–5,000/month for software that automates them — but most agencies can't actually build a multi-tenant product.
10–16 weeks
MVP development
You need to validate a Saudi market opportunity in weeks, not quarters — and ship something investors and pilot customers can actually use.
4–6 weeks
React / Next.js development
React talent in KSA is thin and expensive — most teams ship slow, SEO-broken React apps that Google won't rank locally.
4–8 weeks
Mobile app development
Saudi is one of the most mobile-first countries on earth — 99% smartphone penetration — and most local apps still feel like wrappers around a website.
