Certified AI Transformation Leader (CAITL™) with formal leadership training from FranklinCovey.
02 Core Competencies
03 Experience
- Lead the R&D function and a team of 4 engineers: set technology vision, define product roadmaps, and carry initiatives from concept through commercial release.
- Conceived and launched ABANA IoT, a multi-tenant SaaS platform ingesting telemetry from 2,000 edge devices over MQTT, with REST and mobile-app interfaces; MVP delivered in six months.
- Cut field service visits by 70% across ATM and refrigeration monitoring by replacing scheduled on-site inspections with real-time remote diagnostics and alerting — materially reducing technician travel cost and fault response time.
- Architected the platform cloud-native to scale horizontally as customer device fleets grow, establishing the foundation for edge expansion into new asset classes.
- Owned vendor strategy — evaluated and selected the field hardware line-up (sensors and gateways) to guarantee secure, seamless device onboarding at scale.
- Directed delivery of a ZATCA-compliant e-invoicing system, transitioning invoicing operations to the Saudi tax authority's mandated digital standard.
- Remained hands-on: built targeted Java microservices and rule flows, and led end-to-end QA on every release.
- Led software design and infrastructure decisions across R&D products, setting architectural standards adopted by the wider engineering team.
- Delivered a parcel management platform now operating 500+ parcel units — automating postman assignment, locker reservation, and OTP-verified customer pickup, replacing manual last-mile handoff.
- Mentored engineers on architecture, code quality, and delivery practices.
- Developed mada-scheme EFTPOS payment terminals accepting Visa, Mastercard, and mada transactions in full compliance with Saudi Payments regulations — supporting the national shift from cash to digital payment.
- Built mPOS, an Android application converting standard smartphones into card-accepting payment devices, lowering the hardware barrier for small merchants.
- Integrated e-commerce merchants with the MPGS payment gateway, accelerating onboarding for online payment acceptance.
