OUSAMA ALHENNAWI

Software Developer · AI Automation Specialist · United Arab Emirates

I build software like systems, not pages.

I'm a software developer based in the UAE, the kind who ships broadly: web apps, SaaS platforms, Django backends, and AI-driven automations. Whatever the problem, I turn manual work and messy processes into structured, working software.

The person behind the systems

Portrait of Ousama Alhennawi, AI automation and Django developer based in the UAE Hello there! Let's connect

I'm Ousama, a young, hackathon-tested developer based in the UAE, specializing in data extraction, APIs, and web development. Since 2021 I've shipped 21+ public projects, and most of them start the same way: a real-world friction point (manual admin work, a messy internal process, a physical workflow that should be digital) that I turn into a structured, automated product.

Most people find me through a search for an AI automation developer in the UAE, and that's a real specialty of mine, but it's one specialty among several. I'm just as at home shipping a SaaS product, a Django backend, or a plain web app that just needs to work, and I care as much about how software gets adopted inside a business as how it gets built.

Responsive, production-ready web apps and SaaS platforms built with modern frontend and backend stacks, designed to scale from prototype to paying customers.

Core Service

Django & Backend Systems

FIG.06 · FAQ

Frequently asked questions

What does an AI automation developer actually do? +

I design and build systems that remove manual, repetitive work from a business: connecting APIs, automating lead pipelines and content workflows, and wiring AI models into real operational processes instead of using AI as a gimmick.

Do you only automate workflows, or do you build full products too? +

Both. I build production Django backends, REST APIs, and SaaS front-ends from scratch, and I layer automation and AI on top of existing systems when a full rebuild isn't needed.

Where are you based, and do you work with clients outside the UAE? +

I'm based in the United Arab Emirates, and work remotely with founders and businesses worldwide. Most collaboration happens async over email, calls, and WhatsApp.

What technologies do you build with? +

Python and Django on the backend, React Native/Expo and Tailwind CSS on the frontend, and LLM APIs, vision models, n8n, and Claude Code workflows for automation, chosen per project, not by default.

What's the fastest way to reach you? +

Call or WhatsApp me directly at +971 56 507 3490, or send a message through the contact form or email. I reply within 24 hours, usually with a short call to talk through what you need before any code gets written.
