About Me

I'm a Senior Community Manager at Raseed Invest, a DIFC-regulated multi-asset trading platform in Dubai. I lead a team of four across content, design and SEO, run the influencer program end to end, and led a full app revamp from stakeholder brief to launch.

As part-time Product Owner at Apollo, I took an AI-powered marketing platform from a vibe-coded prototype to a fully owned stack and shipped two new products. On the side, I'm building a native mobile game solo: Troop Boom.

Native Arabic, C1 English, with a strong grasp of trader psychology and GCC markets.

What I Do

From the first follower to the funded user, and from a product brief to a shipped release.

Community Building

Community strategy, moderation and user trust. Grew X/Twitter from 6K to 16K and handle high-risk escalations before they become PR issues.

Growth Marketing

Referral programs, acquisition loops, ASO and launch campaigns. One referral push brought 1,000 sign-ups in three days.

Influencer & KOL Programs

End to end: scouting, compliance vetting, contracts, content review, performance reviews and renew-or-cut decisions.

Product Ownership

From stakeholder discovery to locked design, dev handoff and launch. 0-to-1 builds and prototype-to-production migrations.

Bilingual Content

EN/AR copywriting, brand voice, SEO content pipelines and Arabic translation of product UI, options terminology and legal disclosures.

Crypto & Trading

Stocks, ETFs, options and crypto in DFSA-regulated environments, with a feel for trader psychology across GCC and MENA markets.

My Portfolio
