I am a Senior Solution Architect and Cloud Engineer with 10+ years of experience designing, modernizing, and scaling enterprise-grade SaaS, subscription, and payment platforms. I specialize in building secure, highly available, cloud-native systems that handle millions of transactions, complex integrations, and strict compliance requirements. My background spans telecom, media, digital services, and payment platforms, where Iโ€™ve led architecture and delivery for systems processing 10M+ transactions annually, supporting subscription lifecycles, digital payments, carrier billing, and multi-region deployments. I work comfortably with both technical and business stakeholders, translating product requirements into scalable, production-ready architectures. What I Do Best - Design end-to-end cloud architectures (AWS / Azure) for SaaS and enterprise platforms - Build and modernize subscription, billing, and payment systems (cards, wallets, carrier billing, vouchers) - Architect microservices and event-driven systems with high availability and fault tolerance - Lead platform migrations from third-party vendors to in-house, cloud-native solutions - Optimize cloud costs, performance, and reliability without compromising scalability - Implement PCI-DSSโ€“compliant security architectures, API security, IAM, and encryption - Deliver clear technical documentation, diagrams, and operational runbooks for long-term maintainability Enterprise & SaaS Experience At OSN (Dubai), I served as Solution Architect for an in-house Subscription & Payment Platform (SDP) powering SVOD services. I designed a microservices-based, highly available architecture, integrated multiple regional and global payment methods, and led security and compliance initiatives resulting in 100% PCI-DSS audit compliance. My work reduced cloud infrastructure costs by 45โ€“50%, improved transaction success rates by 18%, and cut involuntary churn by 22% through intelligent retry and recovery mechanisms. Iโ€™ve also delivered serverless and cloud-native solutions using AWS Lambda, API Gateway, DynamoDB, SQS, ECS, and EventBridge, led data migrations, integrated third-party systems, and stabilized production platforms under real-world load. Earlier in my career, I worked on IoT and healthcare-related systems, enterprise software products, and cloud migrations, giving me a strong foundation in distributed systems, performance optimization, and secure data handling. How I Work - I bring a solution-architect mindset rather than just writing code. I focus on: - Clean, scalable system design - Security and compliance from day one - Cost awareness and operational efficiency - Clear communication and documentation - Building systems that are easy to operate, extend, and audit Iโ€™m equally comfortable designing architecture from scratch, reviewing and fixing existing systems, or acting as a technical lead/advisor for founders and engineering teams.

As a developer, architect and a consultant I have hundreds of successfully completed projects under my career belt. Many of these you may see in my Upwork profile. Roughly, my skillset covers these areas: - software development/engineering; - applications design and architecture; - troubleshooting, root cause analysis, and bug fixing; - operations support; - requirements analysis; - AI solutions using Azure and Microsoft Foundry and related services.
