Working with Dubai & the UAE
A UK software engineer for Dubai businesses.
Websites, booking systems, AI chatbots and lead generation — engineered at AI-assisted speed, a few hours behind you.
Dubai runs on service businesses — clinics, salons, brokers, agencies, trades — and those businesses win or lose on enquiries, bookings and follow-up. That's exactly what I build: websites that convert, booking systems that take payment while you sleep, and AI assistants that answer customers 24/7. It's UK senior engineering delivered on Gulf timelines — landing pages inside 72 hours and full builds live in days, because AI-assisted development compresses what an agency schedules across months.
Why this works
Why businesses in Dubai & the UAE work with me.
Dubai's service economy is built on bookings and enquiries — my core work is booking systems, lead-generation sites and AI chatbots that capture them around the clock.
English-first delivery suits how Dubai business already works, and I can build the product itself multilingual — I engineered the EU Parliament's virtual tour across 24 languages, Arabic-ready patterns included.
You get senior UK engineering at startup pace: scoped, quoted, built and live while an agency would still be booking the kick-off.
Everything I build is measurable — tracking wired in from day one, so you can see which dirhams of ad spend actually become customers.
The practical bit
How working together actually runs.
Timezone
Dubai is only 3–4 hours ahead of the UK, and since 2022 the UAE's Monday-to-Friday working week lines up with mine. Your afternoon is my morning — we get real overlap every single working day, not scraps of it.
Contracts & payment
TSMW Development LTD is a registered UK limited company. You get a written fixed quote, a proper contract, and invoices you can pay by ordinary international bank transfer — the same arrangement UK clients get.
Fully remote delivery
Everything ships remotely: short video calls when decisions are needed, async updates in between, and a live staging link so you watch the real thing take shape rather than approving screenshots.
Relevant work
Proof, not promises.
The same engineering Dubai businesses need — AI woven into a real product, high-traffic eCommerce, and multilingual delivery for an international client.

Common questions
Questions from Dubai & the UAE.
Do you work with businesses in Dubai remotely?
Yes — the whole engagement runs remotely and always has for my international work. Scoping happens on a video call, you get a fixed written quote, and you follow progress on a live staging link. Dubai's 3–4 hour offset from the UK means we share most of the working day.
How does the time difference work in practice?
Dubai is 3 hours ahead of the UK in summer, 4 in winter. When you're back from lunch, I'm starting my day — so calls are easy to book and you never wait a full day for an answer. The UAE's Monday–Friday week matches mine too.
Can you build the site or app in Arabic as well as English?
Yes. I built the multi-language system behind the EU Parliament's virtual tour — 24 languages — so bilingual English/Arabic sites, including right-to-left layout, are well within what I deliver.
How do contracts and payments work from the UAE?
You contract with TSMW Development LTD, a UK limited company, on a fixed written quote. Invoices are payable by standard international transfer. No surprises mid-project — the price you agree is the price you pay.
