🚀 About Me

A CTO and Mobile Architect and Full-Stack Developer with 10+ years of experience designing and delivering enterprise-grade applications. I’m currently spearheading mobile development at Digital Dubai Authority, where I’ve architected the flagship UAE PASS and Dubai Now platforms—serving 2M+ users daily with near-flawless uptime.

I thrive at the intersection of Android (Kotlin/Java), Flutter, and Python for backend/data-driven solutions. My background includes cloud architectures (AWS), CI/CD (Jenkins/Docker/Kubernetes), and enterprise-level security implementations—OAuth2, JWT, Biometric Auth, and advanced encryption.
