Joe AL Abiad

At Rasēd, I lead Professional Services for enterprise fraud monitoring and financial intelligence integrations, connecting client digital channels, core systems, and third-party services. I guide executive stakeholders on architecture, onboarding, adoption, and long-term platform value.

Previously at eMcREY, I managed a 10-engineer integration team and delivered projects worth up to 3.7M SAR, including a 2.6M SAR banking engagement completed ahead of schedule. I helped achieve IBM Partnership Status, trained 15 employees, and improved team capability through mentorship and promotions.

I've modernized more than 1,000 Java-based banking services with IBM App Connect Enterprise and IBM API Connect, achieving zero-downtime migration and reducing redundant integrations by 20%. My work includes Open Banking, B2B banking services, Cloud Pak for Integration migrations, and public-sector blockchain and automation initiatives.

I build scalable API-driven architectures using IBM Cloud Pak for Integration, OpenShift, DataPower, Oracle SOA Suite, and Oracle Service Bus. As an IBM Influencer, I contribute practical integration expertise across secure API lifecycle management, cloud-native delivery, and enterprise modernization.
