Director-level engineering leader with 15+ years transforming how fintech companies build, deploy, and scale. From seed stage to Series B — I architect the platforms, developer experience, and AI-augmented workflows that power growth.
I'm a hands-on engineering leader who has spent the last 15 years at the intersection of infrastructure, security, developer experience, and business growth. I don't just keep systems running — I build the platforms, golden paths, and AI-augmented toolchains that let companies move faster, hire better, and scale with confidence.
At Lean Technologies, I joined at seed stage and scaled infrastructure through a $33M Series A (Sequoia) and $67.5M Series B (General Catalyst), achieving SAMA fintech licensing in Saudi Arabia — a pioneering regulatory milestone. I designed and executed multi-cloud BCP/DR strategies across OCI, GCP, and AWS with RPO=0 and RTO≤2h, implemented FinOps governance cutting spend by 50%, and built CIS-hardened Kubernetes and cloud infrastructure. Before that, I architected solutions at JPMorgan Chase (presented at AWS re:Invent), saved $500K at DREST through strategic re-architecture, and reduced costs by 40% at Burberry.
I lead distributed teams across multiple regions, leverage AI and automation to eliminate toil, negotiate multi-million dollar cloud contracts, and bridge the gap between engineering execution and executive strategy. Based in London/Dubai, operating globally.
