## About

```text
At Merlin Cycles, I lead software development and cloud engineering for production e-commerce systems. I re-architected legacy infrastructure into a horizontally scalable cloud platform and built internal dashboards for platform health.

For Writford, I owned the technical direction and product architecture of an AI-enabled legal workspace for UK solicitors. I designed AWS UK-region AI architecture for legal research, document processing, retrieval, and reviewable answers with paragraph-level citations.

At Hayya.qa, I contributed as a Full Stack Developer to a national digital platform supporting e-visas, travel journeys, events, and digital access services. I worked across application layers, including user workflows, backend services, APIs, and third-party integrations.

At TechVention Ltd. and Fourmatics Inc., I delivered enterprise web applications, backend services, APIs, and integrations, and built production web applications and responsive interfaces. My work also included CI/CD pipelines, real-time functionality, Docker-based environments, and performance improvements.
