About Me

12+ years across banking, AAA gaming, and enterprise SaaS. Five years leading engineering: delivered Lebanon's national credit registry, scaled Rainbow Six Siege online services for millions of players, now running platform and AI-agent delivery at Market Logic.

AI-Driven Engineering Leadership

"The hard part of AI-augmented engineering isn't the tooling. It's adoption. Experienced engineers are rightly sceptical, and most AI productivity claims don't survive contact with their real work. The job I'm doing this year is making AI adoption stick at the workflow level: chairing the architecture board, running internal training on Claude skills and agent patterns, and measuring what actually changes, not what gets demoed."

Open to Engineering Director / Head of Platform roles in the EMEA region, particularly at SaaS or fintech teams shipping AI agents with real evaluation and guardrails, not roadmap theatre.
