What I'm looking for

I'm looking to lead mobile architecture and engineering delivery for high-scale products, building reliable iOS and Android platforms while mentoring teams and improving release automation, performance, and technical quality.

I've led mobile engineering for Intigral's stc tv across iOS, Android, Smart TV, and STB platforms, shaping end-to-end technical delivery and scalable client-side experiences.

I architected features supporting an 800K+ user acquisition campaign that generated SAR 4.5M in incremental revenue. I also rebuilt monitoring and CI/CD workflows with Fastlane and GitHub Actions, reducing release downtime by 30%.

Before leading mobile architecture, I managed Android teams building DawriPlus, stc tv, and Jawwy TV, accelerating delivery through modularization and improving sprint productivity through Clean Architecture, testing, and code reviews. My work on DawriPlus helped support a sports app with 1.5M+ active users.

Across 14+ years, I've built native Android and iOS applications, mentored engineers, and improved performance, reliability, and release quality for products across media, sports, automotive, and consumer sectors.
