The
missing
senior
engineer.
Discipline
AI engineering. Agentic systems. Fractional CTO. Product architecture and the hard conversations that come with it.
I work with one GCC founder at a time. Two-week sprint to six-month embed. No deck. No retainer-for-nothing.
How I operate
One client. Full attention. Visible progress every week.
I've shipped consumer apps, built AI products end-to-end, led engineering teams, and sat in the CTO seat. The same person does the architecture call and writes the code and demos it to your investors.
If the engagement isn't a fit, I'll say so on the first call. I'd rather refer you out than take work I can't do well.
AI capabilities
The AI work other agencies won't finish.
Click any to go deeper.
AI Engineering
LLM products that survive production. Evals, latency, cost, fallbacks — the work between a demo and a feature.
Agentic Systems
Agents that can actually finish a task. Tool use, planning loops, recovery, and the boring guardrails.
RAG & Knowledge
Retrieval that returns the right chunk. Embedding choice, chunking strategy, evals, and refresh pipelines.
Product & leadership
And the parts that hold a company together.
Product Architecture
The technical decisions you'll regret in 18 months — made deliberately, with you, now.
Product Management
Specs, prioritization, and the trade-off conversations your team isn't having yet.
UI / UX Design
Interfaces that feel finished. End-to-end design with the engineer who'll ship it — same person.
Team Lead
Embedded engineering leadership when you need direction without committing to a permanent hire.
Fractional CTO
Senior tech ownership without the headcount. Hiring, architecture, vendor calls, board updates — all of it.
How we'd work together
Three steps. No mystery.
Discovery call
30 minutes. We figure out if the work is real, urgent, and a fit. No deck.
Scope & sprint
Engagement scoped in writing. Weekly demos. No surprises, no monthly invoices for nothing.
Handover
Docs, recordings, and a system your team can run without me. I'm one Slack message away after.

Questions founders ask
Most of these come up on the first call.
What does an engagement look like?+
Anywhere from a 2-week scoped sprint (audit, prototype, AI integration) to a 3–6 month embed as fractional CTO or tech lead. We figure out the shape on the discovery call.
Do you do retainers or only project work?+
Both. Retainers make sense for fractional CTO and ongoing engineering leadership. Project pricing makes sense for sprints and AI builds.
Where are you based?+
Dubai, UAE. I work with founders across the GCC — Riyadh, Abu Dhabi, Doha, Manama, Kuwait City — and remote globally. I'll travel for kickoffs.
Can I hire you to join my team for a few months?+
Yes. The most common shape: a 3–6 month embed where I act as fractional CTO or senior IC, ship code, lead engineers, and hand off cleanly.
Do you only work on AI products?+
AI is what I lead with, but I take on product architecture, fractional CTO, and design work that has nothing to do with AI. The portfolio shows the breadth.
How do you charge?+
Per engagement, scoped against outcomes — not hourly. We talk numbers on the discovery call once the scope is clear.
