Weekly Lunch Bot
A serverless WhatsApp bot that runs my family's weekly lunch. It invites about 13 relatives, collects their yes or no taps, picks the host from a four-person rotation, tells the host the headcount and closes the week. I watch the replies on a bilingual dashboard.

About
- Based in
- Dhahran, Saudi Arabia
- At Aramco since
- December 2017
- Languages
- Arabic, English
I've spent 8+ years at Aramco in Dhahran, first in logistics, then as a system analyst, and now as my department's information security analyst. I review access for a department of 700+ people across 5 divisions and assess possible data leaks every day.
As a system analyst I built a Visual Basic and SQL tool that about 100 colleagues used to track their daily output. On my own time I build more: a WhatsApp bot, an ordering platform, a data business. I'm moving into data engineering, analytics and software full time.
