Services
AI tools are everywhere — but most businesses in Kurdistan still don't know how to apply them. Generic SaaS doesn't speak Kurdish, doesn't understand local workflows, doesn't handle local government reporting, ignores RTL UX, and ignores multilingual customers. That's the gap I close.
Case study
Hospitality
LiveMotelSystem — multilingual hotel platform with government-compliant reporting
A multi-tenant hotel management platform built specifically for Kurdistan: walk-ins, deposits, dual-receipt printing, multilingual public booking site (EN/AR/KU), and full local-government reporting compliance. Live for paying customers and proven through 33 weekly production waves.
Beauty & wellness · Multi-tenant SaaS
LiveSalonSystem — all-in-one platform for beauty businesses in Kurdistan, live at krd.beauty
An all-in-one SaaS for salons, spas, and beauty businesses in Kurdistan. Bookings, staff schedules, customer history, multilingual customer-facing booking pages (EN/AR/KU), inventory, and reporting — priced to be accessible for any salon in the region. Live in production at krd.beauty.
Beauty & wellness
LiveObaida Beauty — custom business system for a single beauty practice
A single-tenant business system built specifically for Obaida Beauty. Tailored to the practice's actual workflow rather than the generic salon template — this is what off-the-shelf SaaS can't do. The patterns and lessons learned here are what fed into the multi-tenant SalonSystem product.
Healthcare e-commerce
LiveeMed Store — online medical store for Kurdistan
An online medical store built for the Kurdistan market — multilingual product catalog (EN/AR/KU), WhatsApp-driven order flow, and the cash-on-delivery + dual-currency reality that international e-commerce platforms ignore.

I'm Serdar Dilshad, a software engineer based in Duhok, Kurdistan. I build AI automation, custom web platforms, and multilingual systems for businesses across the Kurdistan Region. I work in English, Arabic, and Kurdish.
A focused AI automation project for an SMB in Kurdistan typically lands between $1,500 and $6,000 for the build, plus monthly running costs of $30–$220 depending on usage (LLM API + hosting). Prices are deliberately set for the Kurdistan market — Western SaaS prices don't make sense here. I scope every project so you see the breakdown before we start.
