Tech Lead and Senior Full-Stack Engineer, Dubai
I build and scale fintech, e-commerce and cloud platforms. For more than ten years I've worked on lending, payments and cross-border systems, owning architecture and delivery across distributed teams.
Like the payments I build, my work has crossed borders: shipping for teams in Ghana, the US, Ivory Coast and the UAE.
