What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a team where I can lead iOS architecture, modernize complex codebases, and deliver secure, scalable fintech or on-demand experiences—using Clean/Modular Architecture, strong CI/CD, and high-quality testing.

I’m a Senior iOS Developer with 10+ years of experience architecting high-scale mobile solutions for fintech and on-demand industry leaders like Emirates NBD and CAFU. I modernize legacy codebases and decouple monoliths using Modular Architecture and Clean Architecture to improve scalability and delivery speed.

I’ve proven impact building and evolving custom SDKs and securing financial applications for millions of users. Most recently, I spearheaded the transition of the flagship banking app (Emirates NBD X) from a monolith to a modular architecture, improving build performance and enabling parallel development across squads.

At CAFU, I developed and launched vertical services to increase Average Order Value and cross-selling opportunities. I also engineered a unified Payment SDK to support multiple providers (Adyen, Checkout.com), creating a seamless developer interface for the main app.

I enjoy leading teams and shipping end-to-end product outcomes—whether architecting a universal fintech hub for Banque Misr, building a high-performance WebSockets-based chat engine with Core Data, or mentoring iOS developers (managing a team of 4). I’m equally comfortable with Swift, SwiftUI, Combine, and Objective-C, and I build with strong testing and CI/CD practices.
