I've spent the last 18 years leading engineering teams, scaling startups, and transforming legacy systems at companies like Amazon and high-growth ventures across the Middle East.
As an MIT-certified CTO, I bring structure, speed, and strategy to every tech challenge — whether you're building from scratch or scaling to millions of users.
I perform deep-dive audits into your systems, team structure, and delivery processes — uncovering bottlenecks, inefficiencies, and opportunities for scale.
Based on our deep‑dive audit, I’ll translate findings into a clear, prioritized roadmap—complete with defined milestones, resource allocations, and success metrics.
I’ll embed with your team to bring the roadmap to life—coaching engineers on best practices, facilitating agile sprints, and removing blockers in real time.
