02 BY THE NUMBERS
Measured in production.
Measured in production.
None of it projected.
Ten figures, each exactly once.
- ~95 hrs / month
- About 95 hours a month returned to the communications team by the RFP intake and archive pipeline alone.
- ~10×
- About ten times the total platform cost recovered in value — measured, not projected.
- $250K+
- $250,000+ a year in operating cost removed through infrastructure consolidation, vendor renegotiation and process redesign.
- 37 → 3 min
- From 37 minutes to 3 minutes per RFP: classification, extraction, folder creation, archiving and tracker update, all autonomous.
- 4–6 hrs / week
- Executive reporting hours reclaimed by replacing the weekly reporting cycle with a live dashboard.
- 2 h → 5 min
- A typical transcription and translation clip for the copy team, after Whisper and translation went in.
- 18 → 1
- Spreadsheet tabs replaced by one client-servicing system of record: a paper executive gate, revenue and GP splits, and an audit trail that refuses edits.
- 5,250
- Automated checks at seven screen widths before INFYA Projects went live, plus a 200-attack adversarial database audit, all held.
- 7
- Portals sharing pulse: HR AI, MyHR, Client Servicing, TEMPO, Copy tasks, Comms and INFYA Projects load one assistant module, so a change ships everywhere at once.
- 5
- Greenfield build-outs: Abu Dhabi, Riyadh, Sharjah and Morocco, full network, cloud, telecom, security and ops stack from zero.
03 THE CATALOGUE
Twenty-six systems.
Twenty-six systems.
All of them live.
Eighteen internal platforms, eight client deliveries, all in daily use — and one pitch-stage build, verified end to end.
Internal platforms
18 live Alsayegh Worldwide · 8 brands · 200+ people
01
Communications
Comms AI — RFP Intake & Archive
37 min → 3 min per RFP
+
Classifies every inbound tender email, extracts the requirements, spawns the Drive folder structure, archives the whole thread with an AI summary and keeps the tracker current — with no one touching it.
02
Communications
Communications Portal v2
Rebuilt CRM-shaped in September
+
Usage data showed the first version had stalled, so it was rebuilt around how the team actually works: file an RFP by drag-and-drop, Shared Drive provisioning, an AI summary in seconds, compose and send as the signed-in user, kick-off invites, bonds with Finance notification and a self-healing health digest.
03
Executive
CEO Dashboard
4–6 hrs/week reclaimed
+
Replaced the weekly executive-reporting cycle with live operational and KPI visibility — a real picture on demand instead of a slide that was stale before the meeting started.
04
People
HR AI Suite
200+ staff, one system of record
+
Document intake with vision-model extraction, leave and UAE airfare-entitlement workflows, end-of-service, letter requests, freelancer contracting, MOHRE labour-card and visa-expiry alerting — with admin and employee portals and a conversational assistant on both sides.
05
People
PULSE — Employee Platform
Internal comms off WhatsApp
+
The employee platform layered on top of HR: announcements with reactions and comments, polls and AMAs, an idea engine, recognition, a daily AI briefing, retrieval-based Q&A and live presence.
06
Copy
Copy Task Tracker
32-tab spreadsheet → live board
+
Real-time visibility of every copy task for the team head: intake straight from the mailbox, alias-tolerant writer matching, review triage, per-user dashboard preferences and CS-facing views.
07
Copy
Copy Writer Portal
~2 hrs → ~5 min per clip
+
Audio and video transcription plus English ↔ Arabic translation (MSA and Khaleeji) for the copy team — in-browser trim, bulk upload, async jobs for long files, per-user cost logging and a hard daily spend cap.
08
Proposals
Proposal Quality Gate
The Chairman’s 100-point audit, digitised
+
A scoring and version-tracking system of record for every group proposal. The evaluator reads each attached document in full and produces filterable management reports and a version journey per bid.
09
Operations
Meeting Dispatch
One tap, zero API cost
+
The coordinator sends meeting notifications over WhatsApp from her own number — no Meta Business API, no per-message billing, no third-party dependency in the chain.
10
Sales
Sales AI — 100Architects
Claim-lock ownership
+
Lead qualification and pipeline ownership for the design brand, with claim-locking so every opportunity stays attributable to exactly one owner.
11
Governance
AI FinOps
Per-team cost visibility
+
Org-wide daily AI spend reporting with auto-discovery of new projects, per-user attribution and hard caps — so finance sees exactly what each team and system costs to run.
12
Client Servicing
Client Servicing Business Case Platform
18-sheet tracker → one system of record
+
The business case is the deal record; the tracker row is the same record in summary — nothing to sync. Eight modules: pipeline, approval with a paper executive gate, revenue and GP splits, manpower, targets, petty cash, actuals and invoicing, traceable reports. The audit trail refuses edits at the table. Opening balance imported and asserted to the dirham.
13
Operations
TEMPO — Team Task & Workload
Requested and built the same day
+
Day plan, weekly grid, capacity at a glance (available, booked, overloaded), nightly carry-over decisions instead of silent roll-overs, drag-to-reassign, per-portfolio task references and a quick-add parser — built for the first client-servicing portfolio on a shared task database every later portfolio joins.
14
Projects · INFYA
INFYA Projects
5,250 checks · 200 attacks held
+
Project lifecycle for account managers: client DNA, a delivered-to-closed flow with mandatory learnings and payment capture, daily late-delivery and unpaid reminders with escalation, finance notifications and a mobile-first admin view. Sign-in bound to the brand's own Google Workspace, with an adversarial database audit before go-live.
15
AI
pulse — the shared assistant
One module, seven portals
+
The living-orb assistant served once and loaded by every portal: markdown and table rendering, voice input, a keyboard shortcut, per-person conversations cleared on sign-out, and a fail-safe so the portal still works if the module cannot load. Additive by rule — it helps with a workflow, never replaces one.
16
AI · Pilot
pulse brain
96% on a 54-question test bank
+
Answers with numbers and facts from live lookups across HR, client servicing, tasks and copy — each run as the asker, so the database enforces who may see what. The database computes, the model explains. Every answer rated, every correction kept as a fact.
17
Platform
Master Theme, Email Kit & Starter Kit
One theme, every portal
+
A single light design system served from one place, an email kit whose JavaScript and Python renderers are byte-identical, and a starter kit so every new internal tool begins on proven foundations — Google-only sign-in, row-level security, tests at seven widths, deploy with rollback. Seven portals and their emails moved onto it in October.
18
Web
Brand X — Site & CMS
CMS live · site in staging
+
The group's brand-experience studio website: an Astro build published from a Supabase-backed CMS with an admin for the media team, lead capture through an Edge Function and a publish pipeline — on its own hosting account with Google sign-in, waiting only on the client's final inputs.
Client delivery
8 shipped · 1 pitch build Government · defence · retail · energy · automotive
19
Government · Dubai Judicial Institute
DJI Forum 2026 Registration Platform
Bilingual AR/EN · 300-seat allocation
+
Public registration with per-entity seat caps and race-safe allocation, QR confirmation emails, iPad door-scanning check-in, an operations console for the team and a live reporting dashboard handed to the client.
20
Confidential client
Private Live Broadcast
Two sites, one button
+
A private point-to-point live broadcast between two sites — control room, holding slate and screen client all reduced to a single “go live” button an on-site host could press without a crew.
21
Client · SneakerCon Arabia
Post-Event Survey & Live Admin
Built end-to-end in 24 hours
+
A bilingual survey on the client’s own domain where the admin never refreshes: every submission arrives over a Postgres change feed, prepends to the table, re-aggregates the stats instantly and pulses a toast. Hardened with RLS, CHECK-constrained enums and a honeypot trigger. survey.sneakerconarabia.com
22
Government · DCT Abu Dhabi
Visitor Experience Awards — Email System
27-piece campaign system
+
The full awards communication cycle built as one coherent HTML email system — nominee, jury, evaluator and business tracks, from pre-application outreach through onboarding reminders to post-session recap.
23
Retail · The Village Mall, Sharjah
Tenant Acquisition Campaign
158 tenants, EN + AR
+
A bilingual live-text emailer campaign for mall tenants — per-recipient business tagging, an approval-first test flow and delivery hardened against the quirks that break email in the Gmail app.
24
Energy · Enersol
Wire — Press-Release Platform
Client-owned distribution
+
A portal that lets the client’s communications lead compose and distribute a press release to their own media list, sending through Brevo via an n8n bridge — no agency in the loop for routine sends.
25
Engineering · ERDC
Bilingual Email Signature System
Zero hosting dependency
+
Arabic and English signature templates delivered as editable Word documents that staff install themselves — images embed on paste, nothing is fetched from a server, and the layout survives Outlook on both platforms.
26
Government · Ministry of Interior
MoI Campaign Emailer
Reproduced pixel-faithful
+
A client-approved design rebuilt as production HTML email, matched to the approved artwork rather than reinterpreted — and QA'd against the rendering quirks that break layouts in the Gmail app and on Windows scaling.
27
Automotive · Pitch build
Event Guest Management
RSVP → badge → door, one schema
+
Guest RSVP, QR badge, admin dashboard and door-scanner check-in for a premium automotive brand's anniversary event — built on the official brand pack, isolated in its own database schema behind 22 guarded functions, and verified end-to-end ahead of the pitch.
Twenty-six in production, one in pitch. Open any row for the detail.
The way I think about it04 THE WAY I THINKCOMPLEXITY IS A STARTING POINT.
NOT THE END PRODUCT.
NOT THE END PRODUCT.
Technology should
feel less like technology.
And more like possibility.
01Start with the real question.
+
Not “which tool should we use?” but “what needs to be better?” Understand the people, the friction, and the outcome first.
02Make the complex feel simple.
+
Connect the moving parts behind the scenes. Give the people using them a clear, considered experience that fits their day.
03Let the results do the talking.
+
Measure what changed. Keep what works, improve what doesn’t, and make the next iteration better than the last.
THE HUMAN BEHIND THE SYSTEMS.Mohammad Primuswala
MP / 0105 A LITTLE ABOUT MEA builder’s mind.
A builder’s mind.
A human lens.
I’m Mohammad.
I connect the big picture to the details that make it happen.
As Chief Information Officer at Alsayegh Worldwide, I lead enterprise technology, operations and AI transformation for eight brands, eight offices in seven countries and 200+ people. My work connects strategy, systems, and the people who bring them to life.
I believe the most valuable thing technology can give us isn’t another tool. It’s more time, more clarity, and more room to do something meaningful.
Mohammad.

Jul 2013 — Present Alsayegh Worldwide · Dubai, UAE
Chief Information Officer
- Architected the group's AI roadmap and shipped a production multi-agent platform now running 18 internal systems — HR, client servicing, communications, proposals, copywriting, sales, executive reporting and operations.
- Built pulse, the group's shared AI assistant, as one module loaded by seven portals, and a pilot "brain" that answers from live, permission-scoped lookups — 96% on its test bank.
- Defined the master design system, email kit and starter kit; moved seven portals and their emails onto it in a month, so every new tool launches on one theme.
- Replaced the client-servicing business tracker with a system of record — every deal, a paper executive gate and an audit trail that refuses edits.
- Delivered 8 client-facing platforms in 2026 — government event registration, confidential live broadcast, bilingual award and tenant campaign systems, and a client-owned press-release portal.
