At talabat, I design high-performance APIs used by millions across the Middle East, achieving response times under 50 milliseconds while improving scalability and user experience.

I've spent over 20 years building Java microservices, full-stack applications, and low-latency systems across AWS, Kafka, Spring Boot, React, Groovy, and Scala. I've also driven architecture, integration, scoping, planning, and delivery across teams and stakeholders.
