What I'm looking for

I’m open to relocating to Dubai.

At Imtyaaz, I set technology strategy and own architecture across multi-tenant SaaS products in e-commerce, EdTech, property management, and other service domains. I built Imtyaaz Bot, an AI assistant that helps e-commerce store owners with operations and sales.

At Bank Al Bilad, I lead iOS engineering for an enterprise digital banking platform, covering architecture, code reviews, and release readiness. I’m also evaluating a legacy-to-React Native migration and troubleshooting SDK, authentication, and security issues.

Previously, I led technical development of valU Sales, a fintech app for sales agents, and developed features for Fawry’s myFawry app. My work has included native iOS applications, payment integrations, and end-to-end commercial app development.
