TECHNICAL LEAD · JJ MARINE · Dubai, UAE
ongoing role
JJ Marine is a yacht and boat dealership in Dubai. The early phase of the role was the website and SEO: the company website has been live for years and he has redesigned it several times since 2024; the current version is published in four languages. The current phase is AI systems for the business.
→ Rebuilt jjmarine.ae on a database of 48 boats, in English, Arabic (right to left), Russian and French
→ By his account: a Telegram bot with retrieval over the business’s systems that drafts client replies, financials and boat decks; nothing goes out until he or the boss approves it
→ Client relations in person. He has said he walked a client through the purchase of a Jeanneau Merry Fisher 1295 Fly
→ The public site has no chatbot and nothing customer-facing that talks to a model
