Aghyad Ghziel
Full-Stack Developer
I am a full-stack developer with a Computer Science degree and most of my depth on the front end. I spent two years on SaaS products for startups — AI model tooling at Bagel Labs, where I led the front end, and a two-sided marketplace at Alpha Factory, both with real users, subscription billing and role-based access. I now run SIMA Studio, my own design and development studio building Arabic-first websites for Saudi companies, where the work adds real-time 3D, motion and bilingual RTL on top of the same stack.
