Overview
Ilmora is my current venture: an all-in-one management platform for online Quran academies. Most academies run on five disconnected tools — one app for video classes, a spreadsheet for salaries, WhatsApp for parent communication, manual reports for quality control. Ilmora replaces that mess with a single system built exclusively for how these academies actually operate.
It's live at ilmora.ai and running in production.
What it does
- AI class monitoring — every class is watched by an intelligent quality layer: it detects disruptions in real time, checks teaching-protocol compliance, and surfaces technical issues before parents complain.
- Smart scheduling — academies teach students across the globe; the scheduling engine handles timezones, detects conflicts, and assists with assignment so admins stop juggling calendars.
- Automated invoicing & payroll — family- and student-based billing generated every cycle, plus teacher payroll that supports fixed, hourly, per-student, and hybrid compensation models with a full audit trail.
- HR & quality control — recruitment pipelines, onboarding, leave and attendance, performance evaluations, protocol compliance checks, and a student feedback loop.
- Unified communication & BI — built-in messaging for admins, teachers, and parents, with real-time analytics on revenue, attendance, retention, and trial conversion.
The stack
A Laravel API with dedicated queue workers, a scheduler, and Laravel Reverb for real-time WebSocket updates — all containerised with Docker alongside PostgreSQL and Redis. The frontend is Next.js. Everything about the architecture is built for the operational reality of a platform that academies run their whole business on: background jobs that can't silently fail, real-time class state, and billing math that has to be right.
My role
Founder and engineer. I designed the domain model, built the API and frontend, and run the infrastructure. Building vertical SaaS for a niche teaches you that the product is 20% code and 80% understanding how the customer actually works — the payroll module alone supports more compensation structures than most general-purpose HR tools.
Why it matters for your project
If you're building vertical SaaS — billing cycles, multi-role permissions, real-time features, background processing — I'm doing all of it right now, in production, with my own money on the line.
