A Career Built on Code, Classrooms, and Purpose

My career journey in EdTech has been a path of discovery, impact, and continuous learning—one that started in Riyadh and has now brought me to Amman, Jordan, where I proudly serve as Senior Product Owner at Classera, a leading EdTech company transforming education through SaaS innovation.

My early professional years in Riyadh were instrumental in shaping the foundation I stand on today. Working across various domains—from tech infrastructure to CRM, ERP systems, marketing technologies, and digital advertising, I gained hands-on experience in how software can solve real-world problems. These formative roles gave me the tools to think strategically, communicate effectively, and design user-centered solutions.

As my career evolved, I found myself increasingly drawn to product management. It was the perfect space to bring together my technical expertise and my passion for education. Today at Classera, I’m fortunate to work on projects that directly improve how students learn and how educators teach.

Among the milestones I’m most proud of is leading the implementation of our first global-scale payment gateway and designing an education-specific loyalty program—initiatives that brought meaningful value to the learning ecosystem.

Every day, my work involves planning, collaboration, analysis, and adaptability. But what drives me is the knowledge that we’re not just building platforms—we’re helping institutions thrive, making education more inclusive, and preparing learners for a future powered by knowledge.

Now based in Amman, I see how my experiences in Saudi Arabia translate across borders. The skills, lessons, and mindset I developed in Riyadh have allowed me to bring global insight into local impact here in Jordan.

To students and young professionals be curious, stay flexible, and don’t underestimate the power of combining technology with purpose. In EdTech, we’re not just keeping up—we’re building what’s next.
