Tech & Design Lead — Web Summit Qatar 2025

Jan 2026 - Jan 2026 • 0 mos

Built and led the AI photobooth experience at talabat's headline activation for Web Summit Qatar 2025. Engineered an end-to-end web app that captured visitors, generated AI-styled portraits in seconds, and printed them on-site as high-quality keepsakes with a custom talabat-branded layout — frame, colour system, copy and CTA all on-brand. Stack: React web app, AI image-generation pipeline, on-device printing integration, custom brand layout engine, hardware bridge to capture rig and printer. Result: hundreds of printed prints across the event, zero downtime, queues that didn't stop, and one of the most photographed and shared activations on the Web Summit floor.

App Developer — Back-to-School Activation

Jul 2024 - Aug 2024 • 1 mo

Built three Flutter games — Recess Recall, This or That, and Tap to School — for talabat's nationwide Back-to-School pop-up activations across Qatar. Each game was designed as a 30-to-60-second engagement loop that fit the pace of a busy mall pop-up: tap-to-play, brand-true visuals, instant reward states, and zero learning curve. Built three apps from one shared Flutter codebase to keep the look consistent across the tour. Engineered real-time engagement tracking via Firebase Realtime Database across hundreds of concurrent devices, with rock-solid offline fallback for outdoor stations and stable performance on lower-end Android tablets supplied by the activation partner. Outcome: the games ran across the full pop-up tour with zero downtime and became the most-engaged-with element of the activation — driving foot traffic, dwell time, and on-brand social moments at every stop.
