Marwan Aljijakli · AI & Data Engineer · CTO at BOHIO
I build AI systems from prototype to production.
Based in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia, I work across AI engineering, data engineering, backend software, computer vision and embedded systems. I currently lead BOHIO’s technology and product architecture.
Selected work across AI, data and connected systems.
Each case explains the problem, my responsibility and the technical path to a working product. Public links are included where available.

BOHIO
AI-assisted financial modeling built around real Excel workflows.
At BOHIO, I lead the architecture and hands-on delivery of a real-estate financial-modeling platform. My work spans the calculation engine, Excel workflows, secure APIs, bilingual UX, administration, telemetry, testing and controlled releases.

VLEED
Estimating heart rate from facial video.
At VLEED, I productized an open-source rPPG/POS pipeline as a Dockerized FastAPI service. It combines face-region segmentation, POS signal extraction and FFT analysis behind a production API.

03Public product · Bilingual AAC
BLUECARE
Communication support designed for children, families and therapists.
BlueCare is a free, bilingual AAC web app for non-verbal and minimally verbal children with autism. Children communicate through picture boards, while caregivers and therapists use dedicated progress and support tools.
Reliable device monitoring from firmware to dashboard.
Wathba connects ESP32 firmware and NVS configuration to authenticated HTTPS telemetry, Supabase, Vercel and a dashboard that distinguishes live, stale and offline devices while exposing diagnostics.
Model accuracy is only one part. Reliable products also need sound data, secure services, usable workflows and controlled operations.
