I turn manual, repetitive workflows into AI automations and autonomous agents, and I build LLM-powered software that runs in production, not just in a demo. I am a senior engineer and ex-CTO with 16+ years across AI systems, FinTech, crypto, and cloud, so the AI I ship is wired into real backends, real payments, and real data, with the security and reliability to match. AI-first does not mean unchecked. Every deliverable goes through a disciplined review and QA process: code review, security checks, and automated testing with hard pass/fail gates before anything reaches you. You move fast and the code still holds up in production. What I build for clients: - AI automation and agentic AI: replace manual, repetitive work with AI agents and pipelines; LLM and OpenAI integration into your existing apps, data, and workflows; AI features wired into production backends. - FinTech and payments: payment-gateway and switch/EPS integrations, ISO transaction formats, distributed payment processing. At KNET, Kuwait's national payment switch, I built on the Base24-EPS SDK, ran the Base24-classic to EPS migration, built the in-house WinEPTS POS API, and certified local banks' financial switches. - Crypto and blockchain: Solidity and EVM smart contracts, crypto exchange and secure hot-wallet architecture. As Co-Founder and CEO of YallaBit, a licensed exchange, I shipped hot wallets, launched a token sale, drove +30% retention, and scaled to $3.3M in revenue in the first 45 days. - DevOps and cloud: AWS, DigitalOcean, Docker, Terraform, Ansible, Git-based CI/CD, infrastructure as code, and the reliability to keep it running. - Full-stack engineering: Laravel/PHP and Go backends, Vue and React front-ends, PostgreSQL and Redis. At Ajar I built the Laravel backend that cut transaction processing time by 25%. My edge is range with depth. Sixteen years across many stacks means I deliver in the platform your project actually needs. I take on short, well-scoped projects I can ship in under a week, with full focus and fast turnaround. Based in Kuwait (UTC+3), I work a ~17-hour window covering the full European business day and most US hours, so I am online when you are. Tell me the outcome you need and I will tell you exactly how I would ship it.

I help startups and SMBs build secure, compliant cloud infrastructure without the cost of a full-time CTO or CISO. 15+ years of cloud architecture and security engineering experience across companies like Cisco, General Mills, Home Depot, Collins Aerospace, and other Fortune 500 environments. AWS Certified Solutions Architect. CISSP in progress. I specialize in startups operating in regulated environments: CJIS, FedRAMP, SOC 2, HIPAA, and CMMC. If you need compliance built into your infrastructure from day one rather than bolted on later, that's exactly what I do. How I typically work with startup clients: Embedded as a fractional technical leader, 10-20 hours per week. I join your Slack, attend standups when needed, and own your infrastructure decisions. Minimum 3-month engagement. Recent example: I serve as fractional Lead DevOps Engineer for a CJIS-regulated GovTech startup, where I designed and built their AWS infrastructure, CI/CD pipelines, and compliance controls from the ground up. What I do for clients: - AWS and Azure cloud architecture design and implementation - Infrastructure as code (Terraform, CloudFormation) - CI/CD pipeline setup (GitHub Actions, GitLab) - Security controls and compliance implementation - Network design (VPC, subnets, security groups, IAM) - Monitoring, alerting, and incident response - Architecture decision-making and team mentorship I also offer one-time engagements: - Cloud Infrastructure Buildout: I design and build your entire cloud environment from scratch in 4-8 weeks - Architecture Review: 2-week deep review of your existing infrastructure with a prioritized 90-day remediation plan Tools I work with daily: AWS, Azure, Terraform, Docker, Kubernetes, GitHub Actions, n8n, Cloudflare, Linux/Ubuntu. If your startup is building in a space where security and compliance matter, let's talk. I'm selective about engagements and only take on work where I can deliver real value.
