What I'm looking for

I'm looking to lead AI-native engineering transformation, scalable platform architecture, and high-performing teams where technical execution is closely aligned with product and business strategy.

At DPL, I lead end-to-end engineering for the SMART Apartments Platform (iApartments), aligning product delivery with business objectives. I pioneered an AI-driven development lifecycle using autonomous agents for requirements, code generation, testing, review, and CI/CD orchestration, increasing productivity by 40–50% and accelerating releases by 60%.

Previously at Exalogic Consulting, I set the technical vision for REALCUBE, a real estate SaaS platform, while leading an engineering organization of 30+ people. I owned architecture, delivery, budgets, resource allocation, enterprise client engagement, and technical pre-sales across the GCC.

I've also architected mobile and web solutions for BMW Fairmini at Netsol and built digital products across mobility, real estate, fintech, and healthcare. I enjoy restructuring teams, strengthening delivery workflows, and helping engineers use AI as effective supervisory validators.
