The Person Behind the Strategy

I'm a Senior E-Commerce Specialist who bridges the gap between data, technology, and revenue growth.

With over 6 years managing and scaling online stores in Saudi Arabia, I've developed a rare combination of operational depth and strategic thinking. I've been the person setting up the GA4 container, building the Excel automation that fixes the ERP sync, and writing the CRO hypothesis — all in the same week.

My technical background in HTML, CSS, and JavaScript means I understand implementation, not just strategy. When I recommend a change to a checkout flow, I know exactly what it takes to build it. This makes me a more effective partner for both development teams and business owners.

I specialize in the Saudi and GCC e-commerce market, with deep experience on platforms preferred in the region — particularly Salla, alongside Shopify, Zid, and WooCommerce. I also work across Amazon Marketplace and understand the nuances of marketplace vs. owned-store strategy.

Currently available for senior e-commerce roles, consulting engagements, and fractional e-commerce leadership.

🎯
CRO-First Mindset
Every page, every flow, every element — evaluated for its impact on conversion. Data before intuition.
Conversion Rate Optimization means systematically identifying where users drop off and fixing it with evidence. I use Clarity heatmaps, GA4 funnel reports, and structured A/B tests — not guesses. A 1% lift in CVR can mean thousands in revenue monthly.

Analytics Depth
GA4, GTM, Clarity, Search Console — I set up and read measurement infrastructure, not just dashboards.
Most people read dashboards. I build them from scratch — custom GA4 events, GTM triggers for every micro-interaction, and funnels that show exactly where money is being lost. No data, no decisions.

AI-Powered SEO
Certified in GEO — optimizing for ChatGPT, Gemini, and Perplexity, not just Google.
Generative Engine Optimization (GEO) is the next frontier. When someone asks ChatGPT "best e-commerce specialist in Saudi Arabia," I know how to make sure the right name comes up. IBM-certified in AI SEO with hands-on playbook training.

Operator, Not Just Advisor
I've managed stores day-to-day. I understand inventory sync, ERP headaches, and campaign fires.
I've been the person who built the Excel automation at midnight because the ERP sync broke again. That ground-level experience means my strategy recommendations are grounded in operational reality — not just theory from a deck.
