Dubai-built digital commerce leadership

Saiyd Rizvie

E-commerce & Digital Project Leader

I turn product-rich businesses into commerce engines — across the UAE, UK and Europe. Connecting the technical build to the commercial result, with nothing lost in translation. I lead the project end to end and build working systems with AI — quoting, pricing, CRM and campaign tools that are live in production.

How I work with AI

From a business problem to a live, tested system.

AI does the building. I own the decisions: what to build, how it must behave, whether it is correct, and when it is safe to launch.

1

Brief

I start with the business problem and the people who will use the tool: the sales desk, installers, managers or customers. I write down what success looks like before anything is built.

2

Direct

I direct AI to build in small, reviewable steps, with clear rules for data, wording and behaviour. I choose the platform and the trade-offs; the AI writes the code.

3

Verify

Nothing ships on trust. I run tests, try the real flow end to end, check the live result, and keep test mode separate from live payments and live data.

4

Launch and run

I deploy to production, watch what real users do, and keep improving. Each tool is documented so the team can use it without me in the room.

My rules for AI-built work
  • No invented numbers or claims on any page or report.
  • Secrets and passwords never go into code or public pages.
  • Test keys before live keys; a test pass before every launch.
  • If I cannot verify it, it does not ship.
Case studies

Four problems I scoped, directed and took live.

Each one started as a manual process inside PowerXpress. I defined the problem, directed the build with AI, tested it on real flows and launched it. Facts only, no inflated numbers.

Sales tool

Quote Desk

Open live
The problem

Quotes were built in documents, sent by email and chased by hand, so managers could not see what was out or why a quote stalled.

What I led

I defined the flow: build a professional quote in minutes, send it by email or WhatsApp, and let the customer accept and pay by card from the same link. I directed the build, tested the payment path and launched it.

What shipped

Quote, accept and pay in one link, with every quote tracked from draft to won and visible to managers.

Trade configurator

Solar Kit Builder

Open live
The problem

Installers had to ask the sales desk which parts work together, then wait for a price. Orders were single items instead of whole systems.

What I led

I set the compatibility and pricing rules, directed the build with AI, and tested the kit logic against the live store prices before launch.

What shipped

Installers build a compatible kit themselves, see the live trade price immediately, and get the summary as a PDF and by email.

CRM

PowerXpress Lead Hub

Open live
The problem

Registrations from campaigns sat in the CRM until someone remembered to look, so interested people were called back late or not at all.

What I led

I defined one live list of every lead with its owner and status, the team hierarchy, and recorded call outcomes. I directed the build and kept it in step with Pipedrive.

What shipped

One place for the whole team to work every lead: notes, history, follow-ups, Gmail, lead transfers, and personal QR codes that capture leads straight into the CRM.

Marketing

Marketing Hub

Open live
The problem

Ad results, website visits, coupon use and lead follow-up sat in different tools, so nobody could see which spend turned into customers.

What I led

I decided which questions management needed answered, and directed the build so the figures on screen come from the connected sources.

What shipped

One dashboard showing what every advertising pound brings in, with plain-English recommendations on what to stop, what to scale and what is not being tracked.

Live from the Hub

Systems I’ve led and shipped, kept up to date automatically.

Every project I add to the PowerXpress Digital Sales Hub appears here on its own, with a plain-English summary. I scope and direct each one, and AI does the heavy building.

AI in action

Sales tools, landing pages & campaigns built with AI.

The PowerXpress digital sales toolkit (Lead Hub CRM, Quote Desk, Price Desk, Marketing Hub, configurators) plus conversion-focused pages, campaigns and emailers across PowerXpress, LEDXpress, V-TAC, SourceHaus and personal brand sites — concepted, designed and shipped fast with AI-assisted workflows, from copy and layout through to the responsive build.
