Ahmed Mohsen

I'm a full-stack engineer based in Dubai. I learned to code in 2020 and now ship production applications — mobile apps, B2B SaaS platforms, and AI-powered tools.

As CTO at lookfindr (2023–2025), I built the mobile app and B2B SaaS CRM that helped scale the company to $15M valuation. 250+ salon partners onboarded across Saudi Arabia. I owned the entire technical stack — React Native, Next.js, Node.js, PostgreSQL.

Now I'm CTO at Colabz, the company I co-founded in 2016. What started as a digital agency has expanded into multiple products:

  • colabz.ai — AI photo & video platform I built end-to-end
  • colabz.studio — Creative production for brands
  • letscolabz.com — Agency serving McLaren, RAK Government, Dongfeng

I also built Growlio, a full CRM platform from zero — leads, projects, proposals, invoicing. Grew its SEO from 0 to 120K monthly impressions in 3 months (636% MoM growth) through programmatic SEO and 170+ landing pages.

My background is unconventional. Before coding, I spent 7 years in marketing and operations — including 6 years as a Senior Steward at Emirates Airline flying to 50+ countries. That's where I decided to learn to code. The business context I built over those years is now my advantage: I don't just write code, I ship products that solve real problems.

Trilingual: Arabic (native), English (fluent), French (professional). Deep expertise in MENA markets.
