Custom software · Ventura County

I'll build it first. You pay when it works.

I'm in Ventura, and I build the software that runs a 104-store Domino's franchise — one that started in this county and is now the third largest in the country. I'll build yours the same way: a working beta first, at no cost, so you can judge the thing instead of the pitch.

No contract to find out. If it doesn't do what I said it would, you're out one conversation.

Five things, done well.

Workflow Automation

Still doing by hand what a computer should handle? I build software around the way your business already works — reporting, scheduling, data entry, approvals, notifications — instead of making your team bend to someone else's idea of the job.

AI Assistants

Ask ‘how did the east region do last week?’ in plain English and get an answer pulled straight from your own data — scoped to exactly what you want it to reach. What meant waiting on someone to run a report takes seconds, spreadsheet included.

App Development

Your crew is in the field, not at a desk. I build iOS and Android apps they'll actually carry — clock in on site, photos from the job, forms that survive bad signal — with the office seeing it as it happens instead of a week later.

Website Development

Most small-business sites are brochures nobody has touched in years. I build fast ones you can update yourself, wired into the rest of your operation so quotes, bookings and enquiries land somewhere useful instead of dying in an inbox.

IT & Infrastructure

You're too small to justify a managed-services contract and too big to leave it to chance. I handle the unglamorous part — backups you've actually watched restore, machines patched, accounts locked down — and I pick up when something breaks, because eventually it does.

What I've built.

Most of what I build runs a business every day. Here's a look: a 104-store operations platform, the apps and sites behind five companies, and a couple of personal projects I'm proud of.

Flagship · Team Hishmeh — a Domino’s franchise (AZ + CA)

MeFOS — the platform that runs a 104-store franchise

I built MeFOS, the operations platform Team Hishmeh’s 104-store Domino’s group runs on. It replaces the legacy Windows system their whole business used to depend on, reads their live data, and puts the entire operation in one place. It ships with a native iPhone app (iHishmeh), distributed to staff through Apple Business Manager. I designed and built the whole thing solo.

  • A 33-tool, Claude-powered AI assistant that answers questions across the whole business. It runs against a read-only, PII-free view, so private data stays walled off
  • A real-time voice mode: speak a question and it streams your audio to speech-to-text, runs the same assistant, and streams a spoken answer back over one live connection
  • An ML sales forecaster, walk-forward validated to cut daily forecast error ~27% over their baseline. It feeds their scheduling and bonus math
  • A native form builder that replaced their paid JotForm subscription (246 forms, 192k submissions), with conditional logic and live scoring
  • ~50 reports, a dozen operational tools, and role-based access control across the entire 104-store estate
  • Live integrations with real-time sales/labor data and each store’s food-safety temperature probes
Squeaky Clean Ventures, LLC — Los Angeles

LaundryDash — one dashboard for two laundromats

A web + iOS operations platform for a two-location Los Angeles laundromat business, in daily use by the leadership team. Its centerpiece is a reconciliation engine that finally puts every number in one place.

  • Pulls revenue from three separate systems (MyLaundryLink, FasCard, Square) across both stores and reconciles it against their live accounting books, flagging per-store discrepancies instead of guesswork
  • A local mirror of ~489,000 vendor transactions to work around an API that only paginates by ID
  • An in-app Claude AI assistant answering plain-English questions over their own data through a hardened, PII-free view
  • One codebase powering both the web app and a native iOS app, with secure sign-in built in
Synergy Home Care — Camarillo, CA

A website + a live caregiver-reliability dashboard

For a home-care agency, I built a private, login-gated dashboard that turns their office notes into clear per-caregiver attendance analytics. I also built their marketing website and full brand kit.

  • Live integration with their AxisCare system, with the API key fully isolated server-side (Netlify Functions). The key never touches the browser
  • Secure, auto-expiring logins so only the office can get in
  • Classifies free-text office notes into callouts, no-shows, and write-ups — shown verbatim, so a person always makes the final call
  • Date filtering, CSV export, and a plain-English handoff guide so a non-technical owner can run it. It auto-deploys on every push
Therapy with Tala — Agoura Hills, CA

A warm, custom practice website

I designed and built therapywithtala.com from scratch for a licensed marriage & family therapist. It’s a warm, fully custom site that helps a growing practice get found and makes it easy for new clients to reach out.

  • Custom design with a hand-picked palette, an office walkthrough video, and an interactive guide to what she helps clients work through
  • A real contact form wired to email delivery (validated and spam-trapped) so clients can reach out or book a free consult
  • Fully responsive and SEO-ready, built in Next.js and deployed on Vercel
It’s Time! Sports Cards, TCG & eSports — Agoura Hills, CA

An online store for an 8,000 sq ft card shop

I built the online store for It’s Time!, a sports-card, TCG, and eSports destination in Agoura Hills. It’s a full storefront spanning their deep catalog.

  • Product catalog across 40+ card and TCG lines — Pokémon, Magic, Yu-Gi-Oh!, One Piece, MLB/NBA/NFL/UFC and more — plus miniatures and accessories
  • Search, cart, customer accounts, email capture, events, and policy pages
  • A clean, product-forward storefront that works on any device

The engineering behind it

The reusable capabilities I bring to any project — most of these run in production today.

AI assistants grounded in real data

Assistants you can ask questions of in plain English that answer only from your actual data — never invented. You decide what each one is allowed to reach, so the same tool can be wide open for leadership and narrowed for everyone else.

Plain-English analytics assistant

Ask 'how did the east region do last week?' in chat and get an accurate answer pulled straight from the reporting system — and the spreadsheet with it. Access is scoped per user, so each person sees exactly what they should and nothing else.

Real-time voice mode

Speak a question and hear the answer back: mic audio → speech-to-text → the same assistant → spoken audio streamed back over one live connection.

AI invoice portal

Reads maintenance invoices from 15+ vendor formats, even handwritten ones, pulls out every line item, assigns each cost to the right location, and queues low-confidence ones for a human.

Machine learning & computer vision

Practical models validated the honest way, with no data leakage and tested against a real baseline. They feed the decisions people make.

Sales forecaster

Per-store daily revenue with leakage-free, walk-forward training that cut daily forecast error ~27% over the prior baseline, feeding scheduling and bonus math.

Computer-vision quality auditor

A two-headed DINOv2 vision model that grades product photos pass/remake and pinpoints ten specific defects, trained with careful grouped splits to avoid leakage.

Cost & compliance auditing

Automated cross-checks that catch money leaks and compliance gaps. Every one flags issues for a human to confirm, never acting on its own.

Deposit reconciliation

Matches cash the point-of-sale says was deposited against what the bank actually credited, and auto-corrects bank digit-transposition typos so you’re not chasing false alarms.

Sales-tax e-filing

Generates state-valid sales-tax returns straight from the point-of-sale data, handling multi-jurisdiction splits, and even patching around bugs in the state’s own published schemas.

Supplier-spend reconciliation

Compares what each location reported spending against actual supplier statements and surfaces only the discrepancies over a set threshold.

Automation & deployment infrastructure

The background infrastructure that saves the most time: scheduled jobs, alerting bots, and systems that stand themselves up.

MCP server for LLMs

Exposes hundreds of internal franchise reports as read-only tools any AI client can query over HTTP, with a self-healing login and fuzzy report matching.

One-command bot deployment

A single config file stands up an entire fleet of monitoring bots on Google Cloud — project, secrets, containers, and schedulers — in one command.

Real-time labor & service alerts

Watches live staffing and service-time data through the day and pings each manager only when there’s an actual issue at one of their locations. No noise.

Things I built for myself

Personal project

Life DB — my life, rendered queryable

A private, local-first data warehouse that turns a dozen of my own daily data streams into one queryable database. Idempotent, self-healing pipelines run across a multi-device home network and join everything into a single daily-grain table I can explore in SQL. On top sits a read-only query console, a daily AI-written summary, and an ambient wall display that doubles as a green/amber/red status board for the whole pipeline. It's the kind of end-to-end data engineering I love, built purely for the fun of it.

Open source · on F-Droid

Ghost Rain — a Matrix-style live wallpaper for Android

A privacy-first Android live wallpaper: falling digital-rain glyphs with an optional, fully configurable HUD showing RAM, CPU, battery, disk, IP, and uptime. Pure Java against the Android framework with zero third-party dependencies. No internet permission, no tracking, no analytics, no accounts. Published open-source under the GPL.

What the people I’ve built for say

Omar replaced the aging desktop system our stores ran on with a single web platform that reads our live data — reports, forms, an AI assistant our team can just ask questions of, even a voice mode. He builds and ships all of it himself, and it's in use every day across our stores.

Team Hishmeh — Domino’s franchise operator

LaundryDash put all of our numbers in one place. It pulls revenue from all three of our systems across both stores and checks it against our actual books, so we can see discrepancies instead of guessing. Omar was careful with our accounting data the whole way through.

Squeaky Clean Ventures, LLC — Los Angeles

Omar built us a dashboard that turns our office notes into clear per-caregiver summaries, and it just runs. He handled our website and branding too — and left me a plain-English guide so I can ask for changes without needing a developer.

Synergy Home Care — Camarillo, CA

Omar built my entire website, and it captures exactly the feeling I want clients to have before they even reach out. It’s warm, easy to navigate, and it makes it simple for someone to take that first step.

Tala, LMFT — Therapy with Tala

Omar built our online store and made our huge catalog easy to shop. It looks clean, works on any device, and finally gave the shop a real presence online.

It’s Time! Sports Cards, TCG & eSports — Agoura Hills, CA

Nearly everything here runs in production every day, and I build and ship it all solo. A few internal details I keep general on purpose, and I’m always glad to walk through any of it directly.

Not an agency. Just a developer who delivers.

I'm Omar. I build and maintain the production software behind Hishmeh Enterprises — a Domino's franchise that started right here in Ventura County and grew into a 104-store operation across California and Arizona, now the third largest in the country. Managers, supervisors and the office run on what I build, every day. Lately I do the same kind of work for small businesses like the ones above.

Security comes with the work. I've caught SMBv1 — the protocol behind WannaCry and NotPetya, two of the most destructive cyberattacks ever recorded — still enabled across a network everyone assumed was fine. I've met with a Fortune 500 CISO to report a crown-jewels-level vulnerability, and stayed on it until it was closed. And I've done live incident response on a compromised machine: found an organised criminal crew holding remote control of it, stripped their access, contained the exposure and secured the device. I don't sell security as a separate product — I'd rather it just be part of building and running things properly.

I'm local, and I mean it. I work out of our office on Knoll Drive in Ventura. If you're in the county, I'd rather drive out and sit with your team than send you a calendar link — most of what's actually slowing a business down is visible in ten minutes on site and invisible on a video call.

I'm not an agency. You're not paying for an account manager, a project coordinator, or layers of overhead. It's me, building exactly what you need and standing behind it.

You get a real person who picks up the phone, explains things in plain language, and cares whether the thing works after handoff. That's it. That's the pitch.

Simple. No runaround.

01

We talk

Twenty minutes. You show me the part of the week that eats the most time — the spreadsheet, the paperwork, the thing everyone complains about. No jargon, no questionnaire, nothing to sign.

02

I build it first

I take one piece of that and build a working version at no cost — usually about two weeks. It runs on your real data and your team uses it on real work, so you're judging the thing itself, not a demo.

03

You decide

If it does what I said it would, we scope the rest and talk price. If it doesn't, you owe me nothing and you're out one conversation. That's the entire risk you're taking.

Two ways to work together.

One & Done

A flat-fee project. I build it, hand it off, and you own it outright. No subscriptions, no recurring costs.

  • Custom-scoped to your exact needs
  • Full ownership of all code and assets
  • Walkthrough and handoff included
  • 30 days of bug fixes after delivery

Every project is scoped and quoted up front, so you'll know the full price before I start. No hourly meter, no surprises.

Most small businesses get locked into monthly platform, hosting, and maintenance fees that add up year after year. I build things you own outright, so you're not renting your own tools back every month.

Let's talk about what you need.

Have a project in mind? Not sure what you need yet? Either way, reach out. No pressure, no sales pitch. Just a conversation about what might help. Ventura County — happy to come to you.
