What I'm looking for

I seek a senior role where I can lead integration and operations for mission-critical payment or banking platforms, focusing on automation, reliability, and scalable performance.

I am a Technical Operations and Integration leader with 7+ years delivering high-availability enterprise systems across banking, FinTech, and government sectors in the Gulf. I specialize in integration architecture, microservices, applications support, and DevOps automation, with deep expertise in IBM integration technologies and modern JVM frameworks.

At EJADA Systems I led technical teams, standardized integration patterns, and architected national payment and government billing platforms, scaling throughput dramatically and improving service availability to 99.98%. At Al Rajhi Bank I build and deploy microservices, implemented CI/CD with Jenkins and ArgoCD, and improved throughput, automation coverage, and incident detection.

I combine hands-on engineering, release and incident management, and leadership to ensure resilient, scalable payment platforms. I seek to apply my integration, performance optimization, and automation skills to help organizations maintain mission-critical services and accelerate reliable delivery.
