What I'm looking for

I seek senior engineering or architect roles in AI-first fintech or enterprise teams where I can lead serverless, mobile, and AI integrations, mentor teams, and drive scalable, secure product delivery.

I am an AI-driven full stack and mobile architect with 17+ years building fintech and enterprise-grade digital platforms across the UAE, Europe, and the US. I specialize in React Native + Expo, TypeScript full-stack (Node.js + AWS Serverless), and AI-assisted development using tools like Claude, Cursor, and LangChain.

I have led large-scale implementations at CAFU, SBER Bank, Roadzen, and Degreed, delivering secure financial architectures, real-time systems, and AI-integrated features such as KYC, biometric authentication, real-time transaction assistants, and driver-behavior risk scoring. I also improved CI/CD velocity and observability across distributed teams.

I am passionate about building AI-first, scalable fintech ecosystems, mentoring teams in AI-assisted workflows, and delivering production-grade mobile and backend solutions that combine security, automation, and measurable operational improvements.
