Building systems that scale.

I started my career in 2017 as a STEP intern, writing production code before I had a formal degree. That experience taught me an important lesson early: software isn't judged by how clever it is, but by whether it works reliably when people depend on it.

In 2019 I joined Thoughtworks as a Consultant, where I spent three years building a large-scale retail forecasting platform used across 1,100+ US stores. It was there I was first exposed to distributed systems — not because I was chasing the buzzword, but because the scale of the problems demanded it. Optimising ETL pipelines, designing data flows, learning what “scale” actually means in production.

As Senior Consultant, I pivoted into fintech — integrating 25+ Payment Service Providers across MEA, Europe, and SEA, and building the tooling that made KYC and payment analytics tractable for operations teams. That work taught me that the hardest part of integration isn't the protocol, it's the organisational complexity around it.

Today, I lead engineering initiatives at Marmin Tech, where I work on UAE's PEPPOL-based e-invoicing ecosystem. My work spans distributed messaging, compliance workflows, ERP integrations, and platform architecture. Beyond building systems, I enjoy mentoring engineers, helping teams navigate complexity, and creating software that remains understandable long after the original implementation is forgotten.

Outside of work, I enjoy building products of my own, exploring new technologies, and turning ideas into software. I believe the best way to learn engineering is still to build things and see how they behave in the real world.
