Senior iOS engineer and technical consultant in fintech who delivered Apple Pay integrations for banks across Saudi Arabia.

Message

At eMcrey, I led Apple Pay implementations across major Saudi banks, coordinating directly with Apple and bank IT teams. I also represented Arxan in Saudi Arabia, supporting clients with mobile application security tooling.

At DashDevs, I translated a confidential bank’s user and business requirements into maintainable iOS application code. I established XCTest coverage and peer reviews, and managed GitLab CI/CD pipelines and SonarQube quality gates.

At inMobiles, I led the iOS team working on MyKorek, a telecom self-service application. Earlier, I managed the design and delivery of Litourgia, an Arabic prayer app, and built its liturgical data rules engine for macOS.

My published apps span digital wallets, open banking, telecom, broadcast media, and healthcare. I work across Swift and SwiftUI, mobile architecture, and Agile delivery.
