À propos

Introduction

Engineering leader based in Dubai, with 15+ years of experience across software architecture, product delivery, consulting, fintech, SaaS and regulated digital assets. I lead multi-squad organisations where technical direction, people development, delivery discipline, reliability and business outcomes must progress together. At Vancelian, I helped scale Product and Engineering from 6 to up to 56 contributors across four cross-functional squads, supporting a platform processing 1.25M events per day, with 800+ production deployments per year and a 1h23 mean time to recovery. My engineering approach combines Domain-Driven Design, distributed and event-driven systems, Team Topologies, strong team ownership, automated delivery and pragmatic operational excellence. I work closely with Product, Design, Data, Security, Compliance and Business teams to remove dependencies and turn complex requirements into reliable outcomes. Developing people is central to my leadership. At Sopra Steria, I personally mentored 12 colleagues, contributing to the emergence of new architects within the agency. I aim to grow autonomous leaders rather than concentrate knowledge or decisions around myself. I remain technically grounded in Java/Spring, APIs, cloud platforms, AWS, Kubernetes, data platforms and software architecture. More recently, I have also applied AI-assisted workflows to product discovery, delivery and operations, with governance and expert oversight.
