I Design Digital Infrastructure Behind High-Performing Companies

From operations to AI. I build systems that scale cleanly, move fast, and just work. Catch my unfiltered takes in The Rebel Café on Substack.

I'm Sam Belkhyat

In today’s game, building a business isn’t just about keeping up, it’s about cutting through. I work with unconventional brands to turn raw ambition into real momentum, blending strategy, systems, and technology built to scale and stick. I’m a Product Architect, Strategist, Technologist, and Digital Solutions Manager.

I've helped launch two Top 15 apps on Product Hunt and teamed up with names like Guess Jeans and Coachella—so I know what it takes to build digital roots that go deep and move fast.

I also write The Rebel Café a Bourdain-esq business strategy newsletter with an edge— get real, insightful marketing tactics, perspectives, and AI tools to help your unconventional brand scale.

He's wildly intuitive about business, brand, and marketing to the point that we have more demand than we can keep up with!
