What I'm looking for

I seek product-led engineering roles where I can build scalable platforms, influence roadmap decisions, mentor teams, and deliver high-availability systems for growth-stage companies.

I am a hands-on CTO and full-stack engineer who co-founded and scaled a SaaS platform for the MENA market, driving enterprise partnerships with banks and shipping core systems for order, store, and inventory management. I led a backend migration to Elixir/Phoenix, implemented async messaging with RabbitMQ, integrated communication tools like Vonage, and deployed resilient infrastructure on Fly.io and AWS to achieve low-latency, high-availability services.

I focus on product-led engineering: translating usage data from PostHog into roadmaps, prioritizing backlogs, and enabling cross-functional teams to move autonomously. My background spans frontend and backend stacks (TypeScript, React, Angular, Phoenix, Spring Boot), DevOps and architecture (Docker, RabbitMQ, Redis, CDN), and I bring recognized entrepreneurial impact, including Forbes Middle East 30 Under 30.
