## Live Lebanese education-technology platform

I led Prepify's non-AI engineering from an inherited baseline to live operation, covering the web platform, service integration, payments, SMS/OTP, automated quality, deployment, operations and support.

## Context

Prepify began with an inherited education-platform baseline that still needed to become a deployable, supportable live product.

## Role and ownership

As contract Head of Systems, I independently owned delivery of the non-AI platform and coordinated its integration with a separately accountable AI team.

## Constraints and boundaries

I inherited the starting point rather than authoring every component. A dedicated AI team retained ownership of its module; my scope was the non-AI platform, product integration, deployment, operations and support.

## Approach

- Modernized and completed the .NET and SQL Server web platform.
- Integrated separately owned FastAPI services through explicit contracts and release checks.
- Implemented payment and SMS/OTP paths with confirmation, idempotency and reconciliation patterns.
- Built environment-separated CI/CD, readiness diagnostics and browser smoke verification.
- Created a central documentation, operations and guided support-onboarding system.

## Verification

Prepify launched with its public product, registration and sign-in surfaces live, supported by the platform, integration, quality and delivery systems described above.

## Outcome

I took Prepify live at the end of June 2026 and committed to one month of post-launch bug support. The separately staffed AI team remained accountable for its module.

## Lessons

Clear ownership boundaries are not administrative overhead; they make contracts, automation, handover and support stronger.
