I Make MVPs Production-Ready. | Fractional CTO | B2B SaaS + AI

Hey! I’m Bilal Umrani.

A Fractional / Interim CTO for B2B SaaS founders who need someone to take actual ownership of the product.

Not just write code.

I step in when you have:

→ an idea that needs to become a real product

→ an MVP that’s starting to crack under growth

→ an AI-built product that needs a proper foundation

→ developers, but no technical leader owning the outcome

I handle the whole technical picture... architecture, development, AI systems, deployment, scaling and everything that tends to break after launch.

Because shipping version one isn’t the finish line.

It’s usually where the interesting problems begin.

Over the last 6 years, I’ve helped take 23 SaaS products from idea to live, paying software across 67 client engagements.

My deepest experience is in healthtech and proptech, where legacy integrations, complex systems and regulatory requirements make “just hire another developer” a particularly expensive experiment.

I’ve also shipped across govtech, edtech and climatetech.

One recent healthtech product came to me as a shaky AI-built MVP.

About 3 months later, it was stable and generating revenue.

That’s the kind of work I like.

Taking something that technically work and making it something you can actually build a business on.

I don’t want to be the person closing your tickets.

I want to be the person accountable for the product.

If you’re an early-stage or growth-stage B2B SaaS founder without technical leadership in-house, let’s talk.

I've worked with Bilal on a couple of key design projects, and each time he has delivered work that brings our vision to life and exceeds expectations. He has a unique ability to take loosely defined ideas and translate them into clear, compelling visuals. His attention to detail, creativity, and commitment to understanding the why behind the work make him an invaluable partner.

Bilal was always reachable and the communication was very constructive. It was a real pleasure working with him over the many weeks our project was going on. He had full commitment and gave regular updates on the progress. It was also very insightful, as he was sharing his thoughts and expertise about the technical implementation.

SUNT — Supplier Rating & Verification for Public Procurement

sunt.tech
SUNT — Supplier Rating & Verification for Public Procurement

I developed SUNT, a digital supplier rating and verification platform that centralizes supplier performance history and standardizes references to help contracting authorities make transparent, data‑driven decisions. I built the system end‑to‑end using Django, Python, PostgreSQL and Docker, designed secure workflows aligned with public procurement compliance, and implemented a customized supplier rating system with verified reference collection. I also optimized database queries and caching to reduce analytics processing time by 50%, enabling structured evaluation across 140,000+ suppliers and adoption by 30+ public organisations.

MIRRA — Virtual Try‑On Widget

MIRRA — Virtual Try‑On Widget
Built MIRRA, a production-ready virtual try-on widget that lets shoppers see themselves wearing products directly on the product page. I designed and implemented the architecture (Embed Layer, Frontend Widget, Secure Backend Proxy) to balance easy merchant integration with security and performance. The widget deploys via a simple snippet or Custom HTML block, supports Shopify dynamic product loading, WordPress and custom sites with no merchant-side backend required, includes a secure admin for demo garments, a smooth 3-step shopper flow with before/after toggle and download, and documentation with copy/paste snippets for merchants.

DocuGuardian

DocuGuardian

I built and launched a secure, high-performance sales page for DocuGuardian, migrating the site from Squarespace to a custom Next.js application to improve performance, security, and scalability. I designed a responsive, senior-friendly UI with Tailwind CSS and web-accessible patterns, integrated the Airtable API for dynamic content management, and added automatic Google reCAPTCHA to reduce spam and strengthen form security. I optimized both backend and frontend performance—reducing load time by 45% and increasing engagement by 30% after launch—and worked closely with CEO Lori Selsberg during development and launch.

RealEstateLeads2Go — Probate Lead Platform

realestateleads2go.com
RealEstateLeads2Go — Probate Lead Platform
I built a high-performance probate lead generation and management platform to streamline prospecting for real estate agents and investors. I developed the backend in Django with PostgreSQL, implemented an advanced search algorithm to filter and qualify high-quality leads, and automated lead assignment and follow-up workflows while integrating CRM tracking. I also delivered responsive interfaces using HTML and CSS3. The final system improved lead assignment speed by 40% and enhanced agent productivity through automation and smarter lead filtering.
