About

Full-Stack Product Engineer · AI-Powered Systems

Osama Jenana

Full-stack engineer who takes products from an empty repository to a running production system — interface, API, database, mobile client and the server it all runs on. Six years and 40+ shipped systems across commerce, healthcare, charity operations and messaging automation, most of them Arabic-first and RTL. Deep experience with the integrations other people avoid: Meta WhatsApp Cloud API, Gulf payment rails, and ERP synchronisation. Recent work centres on AI-powered automation — provider-agnostic assistant layers, real-time voice translation, and conversational commerce.

The legal entity

The work on this site is delivered through Osama Raed Jenana Technology Company — a technology company registered in Palestine under commercial registration number 39679, company number 563493311. Contracts, invoices, data processing agreements and platform partnerships are all held in the company's name, and its registered office is at Gaza – Al-Rimal Al-Shamali – near Palestine Stadium, Palestine.

It is still the same pair of hands writing the code. The company is what makes it possible to sign an agreement, hold a Meta Tech Provider relationship and process client data under a named, accountable entity rather than a personal account.

Where I focus

  • Web Systems

    Multi-tenant platforms, admin panels and real-time dashboards on Laravel, Vue and Next.js — the kind with 70+ models and money moving through them.

  • AI & Automation

    Provider-agnostic AI layers, conversational assistants across channels, real-time voice translation, and scraping pipelines that beat rate limits by design.

  • Infra & Integrations

    Docker, nginx, Redis queues and WebSockets on bare VPS boxes — plus the integrations nobody volunteers for: payment rails, ERPs and Meta Cloud API.
