Aloraini

I lead products, and build them.

I run delivery end to end and build my own apps and hardware, so I understand the technical detail deeply enough to make the right calls and communicate clearly with both engineers and stakeholders.

Based in Riyadh, finishing a B.Eng. in Electrical & Electronics Engineering, and targeting technical product management roles across Saudi Arabia, the Gulf, and remote.

Logic Circuits Simulator

Digital logic design for iPhone, iPad & Mac

Focus: product ownership, user research, and engineering

It started as a conversation with my digital-electronics professor about what students should use to practice. The options all fell short: Tinkercad was too steep for juniors, Multisim sat behind a subscription, and the iPad apps most of us carried were outdated, pricey, or ad-filled. So I proposed building the tool we were missing. v1 covered the fundamentals; v2 improved performance and UX and added sharing and truth tables; for v3 I rebuilt the app from scratch to cover the whole curriculum, including clocks, flip-flops, and Karnaugh maps. It is live, used by students, and shaped by an agile loop of direct feedback from users and testers.

Ayatuk: Quran Verse Reminder

A calm daily verse habit

Focus: product, user analytics, and retention

I kept bouncing between Islamic apps that were dated, ad-heavy, and cluttered, so I built the one I actually wanted: something to keep me connected to the Quran on my busiest days, plus an athan reminder and qibla compass. Before writing a line of code, I set up Firebase Analytics so I could learn from real user behaviour. The MVP launched around one core habit, delivering the number of daily verses you choose, and I used the data to smooth onboarding and UX. Then came a Journey of themed daily verses, a streak system and badges for engagement, and a premium tier that funds development without blocking non-paying users, followed by athan and qibla. Watching engagement the whole way, I lifted week-4 retention from 1.3% to over 9%.

Portable Vending Machine

From technical drawings to a working prototype

Focus: team leadership and engineering design

This was my first-year project for the Drawing & Designing class, where I led a team of six. We set out to deliver the strongest design and a working proof of concept with the resources we had. My real aim was to show my teammates how to turn CAD models and paper sketches into a fully functional prototype, and how genuinely fun engineering is in real life. We had a great time building it and the result stood out: we won the class demo competition, every member earned an A+, and the prototype is still on display in the university's robotics and mechatronics lab.
